Hi Dennis -

    Granted, I haven't purchased stones, I have only purchased stone
    beads, but my experience has certainly differed from yours. I have
    had the experience that some of the things that I've won have been
    very disappointing, but there are beads that I have won that made my
    heart sing. That's how I learn about eBay sellers and which ones to
    avoid.

    I will admit that it's a shame that one has to actually pay to learn
    this lesson - some vendors allow returns, some don't - but I have
    found it to be extremely worthwhile in the long run.

Linda
