This ad from April 1980 shows The Roc-Crystal Automatic Cabochon Machine that was made by Crystalite. The retail price on it is $2,495.00 and when you adjust it for inflation to 2025 dollars, it would be $9,733.68 or an inflation rate of 290.1%.
It's a cool machine and all, but was this ever worth it? You would have to make countless cabs to recoup that cost.
