TAMPA-Look at this 400-pound piece of granite and you see something set in stone.The question is, what?Many people say they see the image of Jesus on the cross.A granite distributor in Pinellas County has had this piece for two years.He bought it at a granite mine in Brazil that, coincidentally, is near the town of Espirito Santo-translated, it means 'holy spirit.'It was then in two pieces, already cut for commercial sale.Even that way, he saw what others see now."We've had a couple of photographers and marketing people who have observed it individually. Everyone has seen the image immediately," explained Thomas Finkbiner of isolditgulfcoast.com.Finkbiner helps people sell things on eBay.The 7-by-7-foot piece of exotic polished granite will be up for bid on the auction site next week.The owner does not want to be identified.And he doesn't want it to be disclosed where the granite is being kept.As for how much it will sell for? A normal piece of granite like this would sell for $4,000.But remember the grilled cheese sandwich with the image of the Virgin Mary?It sold for $28,000-and that was just a sandwich."This isn't the Virgin Mary in a grilled cheese sandwich sold on eBay.It's quite a substantial piece.And I assume that whoever buys it is going to put it on public display.It is a very interesting natural image," Finkbiner continued.Whatever you believe, whatever you see, you will have to agree that it is unique.
PS:Im still trying to find the"Holy Spirit" in it....Pitiful....BUT there are tons of people that believe in these things and build shrines around and lit candles and etcetc.....
As in the days of Noah....
