So I stumbled across the listing for David's stone finally and peeked at the sellers other listings (completed)...
12x2" they sold for a Best offer of <$150... and a 9x7x4" Monster that went around $250 (that thing must weigh 25 lbs)...
Looks like they found a stockpile and are selling it off.. Tons of listings with multiple items for 5x1's, 8x2's, etc.

She has thousands of stones in sizes I’ve never seen or heard of before.
She lives there on or near Dalmore estate and is helping the owner who she is friends with clear out some stones over crowding the buildings so they can open them up as a museum.
I don't think you could ship some of them. Some are like a foot thick.

Which way to the museum gift shop
Yeah, I wonder how she would wrap those. OK, I will be nice.
Wrap?? No self respecting Scot would spend that much on bubble wrap. Do ya think I'm made o money!? Bubble wrap dinni grow on trees.
I'll take leaves...
You must be of Scottish descent
No not leaves. Customs will take that.
You're sure right about that, and don't even think of the word mahogany while filling out your declaration form!
Feb/March she sent me a not so large Yellow Dalmore that arrived as dust, was 5x2 I think. We exchanged a few emails about bubble wrap and micro-foam sheets after that. Nice person, seemingly trying to balance shipping costs vs dimension and weight of pkgs while not grasping Newton's 1st law of inertia so very well. She did manage to get a WOA and TOS here without issue. I considered a large WOA that was listed because it was unusual, but I'm not really jazzed on those stones, and I doubt it would get here intact.
I’m assuming this is just a wonderful coincidence D, but if it was an oblique reference to this (somewhat niche) logical fallacy then I truly doff my cap!

I really like the "mature democracies" bit under origins, it's spot on.I’m assuming this is just a wonderful coincidence D, but if it was an oblique reference to this (somewhat niche) logical fallacy then I truly doff my cap!

Indeed - a cunningly disguised rhetorical fallacy deployed at an opportune moment is certain to give you the edge in any debate! It's why I'm never wrong about anything.
There are some absolute crackers in here:
