Hi John,
Welcome to the forum. Do some reading on the general rocks forum, there's lots of great info there and feel free to ask questions, someone will have an answer for you. I'm in Minnesota USA so can't help you with purchasing but we do have a few UK members around here who can help you on that.

Hi John, welcome to the board

I'm in Manchester in the UK

A really good uk supplier I have found is www.manchesterminerals.co.uk

You can order online, they are very quick and reliable at dispatching.

I also picked up some really good quality amythyst from this place.
