LOS ANGELES (AP) — An online casino has a piece of Capt. Kirk.

Actor William Shatner has sold his kidney stone for $25,000, with the money going to a housing charity, Jan. 17.

Shatner reached agreement Monday to sell the stone to GoldenPalace.com.

“This takes organ donors to a new height, to a new low, maybe. How much is a piece of me worth?’’ he said in a telephone interview.

GoldenPalace.com is noted for its collection of oddities, which includes a partially eaten cheese sandwich thought to contain the image of the Virgin Mary.

“This is a bold new addition to our fleet,’’ said GoldenPalace.com Chief Executive Officer Richard Rowe in a statement.

The money will go to Habitat for Humanity, which builds houses for the needy.

Shatner, who played Capt. Kirk on the original Star Trek TV show and won an Emmy for his role on Boston Legal, passed the stone last fall.

The stone was so big, Shatner said, “you’d want to wear it on your finger.’’

With the money for the stone, Shatner said there is about enough to build half a house.
