I ordered some rough from Gemmaster, and today I recieved the package. Gemmaster goes up and beyond when it comes to quality and quantity. I honestly don't know how he fit all the rough and slabs that he was able to in the box. The Georgia Queen Jasper is exceptional material...it does remind me of Biggs quite a bit. He sent some nice pieces of that along with a whole bunch of other goodies. Thanks again Gemmaster. You're a Top-Notch Guy! I can't wait to get some more stuff from you...   This is of course only 1/8th of what I got. Steve |

Steve: Thoroughly agree with you regarding: Gemmaster. Been doing some trading with Tuell and he's been very helpful finding me some really unusual quartz gems for my collection and very generous and thoughtful in his trades. Overall, one swell gentleman to deal with and I too give him a definate thumbs up!....Mel

I wanted to bring this topic back to the top today since yesterday i got a great box of $1 a pound tumbling rough from Gemmaster.
i had mentioned in my message that i wanted some rocks for my son and i to get started with and he sent us a terrific selection of rough rock, slab ends and partially tumbled pieces.
He also made up a board with 15 samples of some common rocks with a piece of each glued in place and a key for the names. He thought that would help adam learn the names of some of the popular tumbling rocks.
Thanks for taking time to make that board and for the great rocks gemmaster, Adam had a blast looking through and sorting out what to tumble in the next load.
cheers
Jerry

I sometimes forget about this board and I want to add my kudos to Gemmaster. In my first box he sent me a board with help to id. What a generous gift from him and his time. The rocks are looking great and I just can't wait to get some through polish. Am expecting more and can't wait.
Thanks again, Truell
