Interested in one of his stones and just wondered if anyone has any experience with him. Seems to have flawless feedback, but you never can tell. Any help would be much appreciated.
I haven't, but you can further check old negative feedback on toolhaus.org. I wouldn't just rely on looking at ebay feedback because they don't retain all of it.
A couple of years ago I did. No serious interaction, so I don't know about communication, but my transaction went smoothly. I was buying inexpensive stones to test them out. From what I remember, I would say their photos were fairly representative of the stones, which were okay - definitely a case of "you get what you pay for." However, one of the items I bought was a small pair of spessartites, which I hope some day to make into earrings like Uppy's. They were a real value at the time. In the attached photo, they are in front.
