Sometimes incredible stories are actually true, and in this case, experts
agree that a small onyx claimed to be given to a Knight Templar over 1,000
years ago and handed
down through one family from generation to generation, is actually
what the present
owner claims: a gem from the breastplate of the High Priest in Jerusalem

Even more astounding than the cut of the stone was the inexplicable
inscription *inside *the stone, visible through the clear surface: two
letters in ancient Hebrew. Dr. Stone wrote in his appraisal of the gem, “There
is no modern or ancient technology known to me by which an artisan could
produce the inscription, as it is not cut into the surface of the stone.”

He dated production of the stone to approximately the 5th century BCE.As an
appraiser, Dr. Strange could not erase all doubt, but he could certainly
evaluate it as a one-of-a-kind. He appraised the stone’s value at $175-$225
million.

In his written report, he said that when he held it to the light, he was
amazed to see very clearly inside the stone itself, two letters in ancient
Hebrew. The letters seemed to be engraved or burnt into the heart of the
stone.
