Callisto & RarityHunter
Callisto
Hey, have you ever heard the story that the moon once sang a hymn that only a few ancient instruments could echo? I’m curious if you’ve come across a rare celestial lyre or something like that in your travels.
RarityHunter
Sure, I’ve heard the tale, but I’m more into the actual artifacts than the myth. I’ve tracked down a few truly rare celestial harps—only a handful worldwide—and none of them actually sang the moon, but they’re still priceless. If you’re looking for something specific, focus on the maker’s mark and provenance, not the legend.
Callisto
That's a good point—provenance is the true compass for a treasure. It reminds us that every object carries a story of who touched it before you. Keep listening to the silence between the strings; sometimes it whispers the real history.
RarityHunter
Provenance is the map, not the rumor. I’ve seen a violin that was once a battlefield trophy, another that survived a flood and still plays clean. The silence between the notes? That’s the real history, sure—if you can’t hear it, you’re listening to the wrong thing.
Callisto
I hear you; the true story lies in the echo of its past. Keep your ears open for those quiet breaths between chords, they’ll guide you farther than any legend can.
RarityHunter
I’m all ears, but I prefer the catalog to the chorus. Quiet breaths are fine, just don’t let a legend cloud the ledger.
Callisto
Catalogs hold the quiet truth, while legends are just echoes in the wind. Keep the ledger steady.
