DJ,

    I notice you said nothing about quality...... In this game several
    thousands of dollars often gets you just one good stone! When you
    are talking 10's and 100's of thousands of dollars then the word
    "LARGE" comes into play. 1000's is just pocket change in this
    business. 

    I'll be blunt too. I would not refer my suppliers to you. They all
    deal in quality, first and foremost. 

    My students are always bringing me Ebay stuff. I get to teach them
    about fisheye, crooked girdles, and such. Yes, there is much good
    stuff out there too. I guess I just don't get to see much of it.
