This is so cool! If it's legit, this unusual stone would be of interest to a niche market of collectors of obscure esoteric philosophy and literature. It was mentioned in the book, "the secret teachings of all ages" by Manly P Hall, which I was just reading, which led me to google the Oberammergau stone out of curiosity, and to find both a new york times reference from 1903, and this listing. Im quite intrigued. Id buy it but I suspect you might find people willing to offer more than I could pay. Have you contacted the Philosophical Research society in Los Angeles? Someone there might be interested.
Direct quote from the aforementioned book, "The Oberammergau stone, chipped by Nature into a close resemblance to the popular conception of the face of Christ, is so remarkable that even the crowned heads of Europe requested the privilege of beholding it."
