    Does anyone know of a wholesale source for gaspeite rough (or
    reasonable finished beads?)  One local vendor's prices are sky high,
    but I've read that gaspeite is worth about the same as lapis lazuli. 
    His prices are a FAR CRY from lapis.  I'm now getting to the point of
    buying rough and having the beads made myself in order to get
    reasonable pricing.
