Carol,

    I bought rough variquoise in 1998. It was a high grade lot from the
    "Blue Lady" mine in Nevada. I paid wholesale $110 per kilo. This was
    mostly 5-15 gram pieces, all natural, and a variety of patterns. Very
    little waste in this lot. I considered this a very giod price.
    Individual stone sell for $35 - $50 per stone. 

    Gerry Galarneau, still hunkered down getting ready for my Tucson
    2004 September show in the Holidome.
