I tried to do a search but came up with alot of unrelated info.

They seem to have alot of selection and good prices. Are these more maul cut stones? THANKS

At a quick glance, most of the stones appear to be very dark; not stones I think worth setting into jewellery. However, that said, it appears that you are paying for what you are getting. So if you like the overly dark or extremely washed out stones, then the price reflects that accordingly.

I''ve bought. Would not buy again. Pictures are doctored... my stone looked very disimilar to what was posted... plus they had no return policy that I could find. Fortunately I only spent 20 bucks or so... but it was still a complete waste. You get what you pay for.

sounds rather like a color stone snob......and i agree with it completely. i checked out the spesssartite and i found them to be rather ugly.....even the cabachons aren''t high quality.

as in all things, you get what you pay for.

I wouldn''t buy any of them. The tsavorites were horrible and the sapphires I checked were cut all squint...
