Fakes & FraudsI can't WAIT to get my degaussing stones!

Aren't they purty?!!!!!

If you want one, look for "1Pc x 50g 100% Natural Mini Degaussing Powder Stones Point Quartz Gemstone 7-9 mm New"!!!!!

hmmm, i guess you only get one piece,

They say you can use them in your aquarium, but why would you want to waste all that degaussing power on the fish??!!!


I can only shake my head at the wonders that can be found on eBay...

"Degaussing", isn't that demagnetizing? IF I ordered one and used it (not sure how) would that destroy my magnetic personality?? Does it affect charm too (not the quantum state). I would imagine my wife would let me know .... in no uncertain terms.

I wonder if that is dyed howlite to imitate turquoise?

More likely magnesite. Howlite has not really been all that available.

Magnesite = magnetic = something that can be degaussed! You're brilliant!!


I can't wait to get degaussed!

Would I have to keep these away from my old cassette tapes???? But still, even with magnesite, and degaussing....well, the uninfomed.

How about the car key fob? Would degaussing wreck its ability to communicate with the car? Why would anyone want to spend money on anything that would do that (with them very expensive from the car dealers). Ack! the car won't start anymore! All that money for a machine that won't start without a huge price from the dealer! (good thing I don't collect 'degaussing' stones! Not that I believe in them anyway, I don't!)
