The "Heart of Minnesota" is For Sale on Ebay for $1,249 [Photos]

In case you were in the market for a five pound rock.

Minnesota's state gem stone is the Lake Superior Agate. These semi-precious stones can be found all around the world, but as the name dictates, are most commonly found around the shore of Lake Superior. Their distinct rings are made of mineral quartz and layers of chalcedony. They were formed 1.2 billion years ago via volcanic activity along what now is the North Shore.
