Hello fellow O's,

    Back in the early 90's I bought a fairly large parcel of deep green
    bloodstone cabs with strong splatters of rich reds, including some
    "painted" material with mottled yellows and orange, even some
    "picture" stuff with mossy layering. I really liked these stones and
    enjoyed sharing them with others who liked bloodstone as much as I
    do. 

    Well, I'm running out and have been looking around for a new supply.
    Unfortunately most of the stuff I've recently seen at the web
    retailers is pretty dull stuff in comparison. Not much colour, washed
    out greens, generally pretty uninspiring. And I'm no fan of the white
    Swaziland material even though it does have some nice strong colour
    highlights. 

    So, two questions. Are good, strong (green) bloodstones really that
    hard to come by these days? And if not, who's selling the good stuff? 

Cheers,
Trevor F
