[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 351344, member: 2976"] Yep, what Heatho said - definately get any better ones cut here. Aside from what has already been mentioned, when something valuable vanishes outside Australia's borders, you don't really have any redress. I heard of a lady who had a rather nice aquamarine crystal she sent overseas to be faceted. When it eventually came back, she felt that there was just something [i]slightly[/i] different about the colour. She had it tested and the result came back.....synthetic green quartz. [/QUOTE]
