If you are not completely satisfied when you receive your order, let me know within 10 days, and your money will be refunded.

Hi Rick, The parcel of ametrine has to be the best [rough gem] parcel I have ever bought! It is exactly as described - clean as a whistle, lovely colour and being preforms, I believe the recovery will be nothing short of astounding.  Thank you very much.    IC, Great Britian

Dear Stinson's,  Just auick note to let you know we read your article/advice on buying gems on a cruise vacation.  After reading, we did some research on prices, appraisals, etc.  I'm sure you saved us a bundle and probably a lot of time and grief on possible insurance complications! Thank you!                                          TJ   California

Rick I want to thank you so much for the prompt refund. I can't believe you even paid for the return postage. It is unusual service and I appreciate it. You know I loved the stone and so sorry my wife wanted a different shade of pink! But I'll keep trying and hope to send you another order soon. Thank you!
Sincerely,

I just received the latest copy of Lapidary Journal. I was incredibly impressed with the First Place Winner, "Eye of the Dragon", in the Faceted Gems division of The Gemmy's. I visited your website. You have so many beautiful pieces. Beautiful,Creative, Elegant, Breathtaking, were but a few of the words that leapt to mind. Your passion shows in your work. Congratulations on your well deserved win.

Dear Rick,
I received the beautiful sapphires today. They are so lovely and we are grateful for your generosity in sending the "extra" stones. Also thank you for the interest and ideas that we could use to help support the mission and the people.

Hi Rick,
I received those awesome Paraiba cabs today. I can't get over their true color and flash!! They are so lovely that they do NOT need to be faceted to bring out their life. I am going to set one of them in a ring just as is.Thank you for helping me. I am so happy! Best wishes,

Rick,
I was very disappointed to find out the "great deal" on the emerald rough I bought [from overseas] was not worth much. I appreciate your expert help and honesty in evaluating this for me and I am glad that at least I found you before wasting any more money buying this kind of junk.

Hi Rick
Our check is enclosed for invoice #328259. The sapphire was beautiful. You saved us! We were able to finish setting the stone and deliver the ring to our customer just in time for the wedding.

Dear Rick,
I received your check today for the returned opal. I am sorry it did not have just the right purple/blue color combination I wanted for this design. Please call me if another Lightening Ridge stone in this quality becomes available. Thank you so much for your promptness.

Dear Rick,
The quartz crystal clusters and carvings are magnificent. Our check is enclosed. The interior design group is excited to incorporate this idea into our client's private office as well as the apartment, as I mentioned. Also we like your suggestion about putting one in the plane. Keep me posted on the internal carving -- photos for the portrait are in the mail. Fabulous work!
