>      Orchid has many good cutters and stone dealers who contribute. 

    I fully endorse all of what Sam said. In addition to appreciating
    the service and integrity of Gerry (and his wife, Marty) Galarneau
    (http://www.galarneausgems.com/index.html), I highly endorse Robert
    Lowe. He is an Orchid member, and an American expatriate living in
    Brazil. He brings me the most wonderful tourmalines, opals, quartz
    gemstones, and more, from that gemologically rich region of the
    world. He comes to the U.S. a couple/few times a year, and I always
    spend more than I can afford to when I see him. I know other Orchid
    members also have happy and successful relationships with Robert, as
    well.
