What was it stabilized with? $200 per pound for stabilized seems a bit high..... How much for all 4 parcels? (1 lb).

I have no idea about what type of stabilization was used. There's no odor during cutting or residue on the outside of any of the pieces. At first, I thought it might be natural but the supplier insists otherwise. I've cut over 50 cabs and everything is solid with a great polish. There's also a nice variety of blue tones.
Stabilized turquoise seems to range from $125 to $450 per pound versus $250 to $2500+ for natural. I sell the cabs for $2 per carat.
$175 for all four parcels with free shipping.
Send a pm if your interested and I'll let you know the PayPal address, etc.

talked to my partner. We decided to do a 180, and start getting rid of all the turquoise we already have. both getting old, time to wind down, plus the stuff we have is worth some big bucks. Thanks tho!

Thanks tho! No problem. Donnie (from Donnie's Rocky Treasure's) took everything. Yup, turquoise is pretty popular right now. Heck, maybe the whole situation goes 180. Let me know if you have any rough you want to unload. |
