I just ordered some supplies, rough and a saw blade from Stone Age Industries. Linna is really great to deal with. Hey, if any of you don't know, they run a contest every month with a different theme. The prize is a $50 gift certificate to anything on their site. There's alot of good stuff on their site and that credit sure comes in handy. Alot of RTHers already enter their contests, but if you are new, you ought to check it out. Their site: www.stoneageindustries.com/Shop Friends of the Month Contest: www.stoneageindustries.com/shop_friends_contest.htmlThe theme for this month is for lapidary tips or pics of a lapidary project. |

I did find them friendly. You have to call to see about flat rate, and there is a fixed handling fee that bothers me. But they are pleasant to talk with. Prices are OK, not great. Also, you do not have a lot of control over selecting material.

I like them too, although I've found the quality to be rather hit/miss -- the slabs you get don't always look as nice as the picture. Sometimes they look nicer too though. Recently ordered some rough and that looks pretty good although I haven't cut it yet.
