I found a small stone in one of my bricks of 2004 "1336th Anniversary
of the Thai Calendar" that I bought via Ebay on Mike Petro's recco.
I'm kind of ticked ... it's got to weigh at least a gram, which means I
got 249 grams of tea in this brick, tops.

Oh well ... I just tell myself it's my "lucky puer stone". Maybe I'll
get it tumbled/polished and put it on a chain someday. I just hope I
don't find more stones in the other three bricks ... won't find out for
at least ten years.
