"What a waste it is to lose one's mind.
Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful.

How true that is."

Dan Quayle

(believed by some scholars to have once been a vice president of the United States)

Well I must have lost it ...... finally !
At these sort of prices I wonder is it even legal ?
While photographing these little 'buggers' I carried them in my mouth !
And this is the BIG one !

For some perspective I have photographed it with a grain of rice !
Basmati of course

Surprisingly the reverse appears to show signs of "nano" scraping (tooling is too harsh a word)!

Great comparison photo! I wonder if the engraver suffered from headaches, or maybe had a magnifier...
