Tom, these are shit quality rocks and you're a shit dealer. You're better off investing in ditchweed and selling that than some New Age woo that largely only interests middle aged women. I know you're salty spending an exorbitant amount of money on shitty woo rocks, but there's no need to try to impress us; we know you're a fraudster. I should suggest that contact your dealer and get a refund, you because you clearly got gypped.

But we all know you're a retard that doubles down. Keep raging on, it's pretty funny. :popcorn:

I can go to my local arts and crafts store and buy the same kind of gravel and I know I made an ethical purchase. They weren't bought second hand from some shady dealer from Ethiopia and then passed through the hands of a pedo.

No reason to believe the guy isn't 100% correct. There is no reasonable way to get a perfectly symmetic hole that thin in the dead center of a stalactite which runs along the length of the central axis without something like a wire being present. Also, you can see from the picture that there is a very distinct radiative pattern occurring from the hole in the center outward which is consistent the entire radius of the piece at any given point in the cross-section. That is absolutely not how a stalactite forms. A stalactite will demonstrate a nice, gradual, concentric circular pattern, with absolutely no radiative pattern in cross-section. A nice, cheap trick, but very easy to detect if one knows absolutely anything about stalactite formation.

Lol you are a 67 year old man Tom. There is absolutely no way you will be doing even half of what you just said. And yes, operating a business for 40 years and having negative profits to show for it is pathetic. You are worse than the Etsy shops I was comparing you too.


E: That tourmaline looks like it has plenty of occlusions. That's what I mean when I say it's not a commodity, Tom. Gold is gold, no matter its source. Silver is silver. But gemstones can be worth thousands or nothing depending on just the quality of the cut. You keep quoting these prices that I'm sure you've red up on online, but there's no guarantee your pieces will bring that in, especially given the shit tier quality of your finished products.

lol. an idiot suffering from DKE exacerbated by confirmation bias who is without a clue about the industry, throwing a lot of words around he doesn't understand. occlusions, for instance. you're just a shit talking hater blowing ass smoke at me in a childish dominance game, boy. i turned down a $500 offer on that orange tourmaline already. the thing is internally flawless with a single flaw running down the middle of it , so it would need to be cut in two stones.

I quote prices that i get, asshole.

Your pebbles are of poor quality and you really should have taken the $500.

Tom, I don't believe you get the prices you're quoting, and I don't believe you actually know how to value gems. Maybe if I had just stumbled across you a few days ago, I would. But now, even the short few months I've had the displeasure to know about your existence, I've watched you lie and fail so often that I'd have to be as foolish as your business partners to believe you about anything.

Go ahead, prove us all wrong. All you have to do is provide the prices you purchased your pebbles for, and the prices you receive. Somehow, I just know even that low hurdle will prove to be impossible for you. It will be fun to watch you impotently flail around trying, though.

I'm not the one who appears to not have slept last night so he could scream at randos on the internet. You must be way into your manic rage phase now. The crash is going to be spectacular.

I'll grant you that maybe that tourmaline is of better quality than it appears. It could be that the problem is you just suck at photographing specimens.

Tom's too odorous to have prolonged in person contact so he has to hang out online with people that despise and mock him.

That said you would think someone in the industry for 40 years would be able to spot a fake crystal even if they can't comprehend how it was made.
