[QUOTE="Bullwinkle, post: 512347, member: 9564"] Hi guys Ive recently taken up the hobby of facetting stones at my local gem club. So far Ive cut a bit of Smokey Quartz & some Topaz kindly given to me by a mate. Im now hooked, so like to get hold of some other more valuable stones to have a go at. Ideally I would like to find some myself in the field. However, In the meantime Id like to buy some. Ive had a bit of a look at eBay etc, but have a bit of a concern about inadvertently buying some that turn out to be not of facet quality or worse still getting ripped off. Can anyone please give me any tips on trusted places to purchase rough stones or how to best avoid being ripped off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best regards Mark [/QUOTE]
