Hi
Here is an image of the cast of the "Venus Stone" from Bob's site.

He sells them for $100 each. My brother and I both picked up one at the
Tucson show this year. If I remember correctly he said those were the last
ones he had for sale. But you might email him to see if he has any more for
sale.
