  •  "I love the cabs SO MUCH! Too much! I don't want to sell them. I want to set them and keep every one of them. Someone there has a keen eye for design & proportion and someone else has the ability to drive an unearthly sheen on the surface. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my job as a jeweler so much easier!" - Susan

  • "You guys just have the greatest shop and service--I really appreciate that, from my little corner of northwestern North Dakota and our little town of 400 people--not a lot of choices for rock and gem shops up here." - Caroline
  • "I am a very happy customer (again) and my customers in turn are going to be very pleased with the picks I make from these agates. I haven't produced any picks with the new agate yet but there's 50+ in the tumbler now and they look fantastic! I just found out that the band The Black Crowes is using my guitar picks! So believe it or not, when you hear a guitarist playing on the radio, they may be using a stone from your stock. Thank you very much, and I will be back." - Johnny
