Here you go, Kim -
This is the original parcel they sent minus a couple of pieces that were busted up for tumbling.

This is what is pictured on their website.

This is what they sent me as a "courtesy" with my second order.

ARE WE THERE YET?

I would have been unhappy with the first stuff too. Not that it's bad rock, but it certainly doesn't look like the stuff in their website photos. It looks like they made it up to you with some great stuff second time around.

It appears they made good on it (plus got another order out of ya?)
	I can't tell if thats some Gneiss Schist, or that Schist is Gneiss. All I know is don't take it for Granite

Stefan, THE VERDICT IS Stoneagae Industries was very nice to deal with and I was extremely happy with my second order. If they can continue to provide me with nice rock I will continue to order from them and would recommend them to anyone.

There is inherent danger in purchasing rough by type. It is much better to see a photograph of the actual parcel of rock that will be sent, better still to choose in person.

Don, thanks for saying what you did about my first order. I was expecting a parcel that looked like the rock pictured on their website, which appears to be nicely patterned with both red and yellow and was quite disappointed with what I received. The"blood spatters" that you can barely see in the photo are microscopic, at best.

That new stuff they sent you is really nice. I especially like the Cathedral. That's one of the nicer examples I've seen....mel
