I've got some stone. I wouldn't like to guess about the weight of it but there's about 24 assorted pieces including

6 square columns that measure approx 1.5m by 0.3m by 0.3m

6 lintle type piece that measure 1.5m by 0.3m by 0.1m

6 blocks approx 0.5m by 0.3m by 0.3m

We use a lot of it to build a fireplace crappy pic below for illustration of colour but have no need for the rest. What do you think it's worth? Someone offered me 150 quid but I think that's taking the michael.

Probably not worth a huge amount. Do you know what type of stone it is?

Looks like just normal Portland or Bath stone? Not the most exotic of stone.

Certainly worth more than £150 if you were buying it from a stoneyard, but as they are specific sizes, probably not a lot of use to many people?

A local stonemason might want the bigger blocks to make some sculptures/garden ornaments out of, maybe?

Well, it's a boring answer but shoving it on eBay, perhaps in seperate lots, will quickly find you the best price that anybody's willing to pay.

Might get more interest next Spring perhaps?
