[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 94172, member: 487"] Spud, anything clear with no cracks and a great colour over 3-4ct just don't send there, they do a decent job on stuff which is too small for local cutters to be bothered with. Also having a small stone cut locally will cost more than the stone is worth generally speaking. Save your best ones and find someone you can trust. Send anything smaller to Lamberts, they do a decent job for the price, I've seen some pretty uneven cuts on larger stones from there. I'm still waiting for my invoice, has been about 8 weeks so far but I sent quite a lot of stones. My mate just got his invoice with a pic they send, was about $290 for the parcel in the photo. Everything on the Left are rejects........ a lot! :o [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/487/1407708275_lamberts_stones.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
