That's for sure - - as a seller, I like his style. He seems to know exactly what I'm looking for and his guidance has been excellent. He's accpeted returns graciously and he's emailed me when something special comes in. One more thing - he never has anything negative to say about another seller.
This speaks volumes about his integrity and humility, he's just doing his thing and that's that.
He's a cool cat for sure.

Maybe "many", but not everyone.

You didn't get that memo? Okay, okay....all the cool kids.

BTW, one of your Jnat enforcers keeps calling me and telling me how great these things are trying to get me to come to the Jnat side.

It's fun for sure, and the edges are quite nice if you like natural edges.

Sorry for the seperate photos, but I don't often photograph all my stones together for fear my "true numbers" will be revealed to SWMBO. I try to keep them stashed in various rooms or lent out to trusted members. :)

Here's some
