    hi Folks, something i found today in our local antiques shop

    after reading the post from @Houseful

    i starting reading up on them and looking at pictures

    anyway i asked the lady what it was (and looked similar to pictures i looked at) and she said it was a hair ball

    dont know if these things have any value at all, but seemed an interesting buy at £5

    its not a stone as it is light for its size

    any thoughts appreciated

    It does. Charlie, you will also be immune to basilisk poison if bitten but you have to swallow the bezoar whole according to Severus Snape in Harry Potter. :)

    Too funny, thanks Aj

    I'm presuming £5 was a good buy, but perhaps they depend on age, type etc
