    I bought a few stones from ebay, and 'sniped' at the last minute and
    got a good deal. I bought at at price that didn't matter if I got
    junk or not, I paid a junk price, and got a good deal. 

    That is not where I would go for quality stones that I was going to
    put my name on. 

    I buy all my stones from eiher Robert Lowe in Brasil, or from Ahmed
    Shareek in Sri Lanka. Both of these gentlemen have been guests in my
    home and I cant say enough a bout them, their honesty, the quality of
    their stones, their prices, it jus t dossent get an better than
    Robert and Ahmed. Between these two dealers, I cant think of any
    stone that they couldn't pro vide, and at the best prices. I have
    asked Robert for Rutilated Amethyst, and he found it. (Bet you've ne
    ver seen rutilated Amethyst..) Last year, I asked Robert to find me a
    really good blue tourmaline. He fou nd it and it was beautiful. I 
have
    asked Ahmed for special cut Sapphires, Peridot, and Moonstones. 

    If they don't have the stone, they both have been around the colored
    stone business long enough, and know enough people, mine owners, and
    other dealer s, both in Brasil, Sri Lanka, and the US, that they can
    find anything you n eed. 

    For any stone, any quality, any cut, try Robert and Ahmed.
