“Two people came in, one person took me to the back of the store, and as I was walking to the back of the store, the other person just lifted the geode up, took it outside and threw it in the back of his car, and took off,” Lee Konidas, owner of Silver Anvil Rock and Gem, told CTV News Edmonton.

The amethyst is two feet tall by two feet wide.

He doesn’t believe the robbery was planned.
