Could the rock actually be a treasure, but Frank was just trying to play down its value so that the other guests would not compete?

With that in mind, everyone was suddenly interested, while Travis was delighted.

Frank's move was basically promoting the rock!

Beaming, he asked, "Forgive my ignorance, Mr. Lawrence, but I've always treated it as a red gemstone. Would you mind telling me what it is, if it's not a gemstone?"

"It really is just a normal rock," Frank said calmly, despite the troubled look in his eyes. "However, it holds a special meaning to me, which is why I will buy it."

He must be worried that the others would compete with him.
