Yeah, no. I'd rather go to Stonebridge. Or go for local and get stuff from either Skygems or The Rock Store if I want rough cuts. That way I can check them myself. There's no way in hell I'd trust an old man that has no online foot print when it comes to sales.
But he has forty years of experience when it comes to haggling prices, trading rocks for rocks/weed and going into a rock show in the red and coming out in the red; what's not to trust?

I'd rather trust an envelope from Aum Shinrikyo than trust anything this guy is selling.
 
Tom, your rocks look nothing like this.

Everyone knows to avoid stones that look to have unnatural holes/ damage on them. This supposed "expert" is just finding this out now after "near forty years" of doing this. That should speak volumes about the quality of rocks he's selling. He doesn't know what he has. He just sees "shinnies" and buys them like the literal retard that he is.

We all know about Tom and unnatural holes.
 
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.
Thomas is afraid to post the prices for his gravel. But what is even better is the price he would sell them at since he has no fucking idea how to value inventory and assign overhead costs to each inventory item and sale. Identifying basic rocks escapes him after 40 years, I can't imagine how long it would take for him to understand debits and credits
 
no you don't.

as i thought, we have a pack of stupid pukes who don't know what they're talking about. carry on, fools.

lol. that chunk of malachite weighs 5 pounds, not 50 g and the laboradorite is just one piece of many that bring in 20 or 30 dollars at a time.

it's funny how you singled out the two most common stones there. you probably don't even know what the two red stones are or what they're worth. that's a whole lot of nephrite jade that sells for a buck a gram and hydrophane opal i get $12/gram for easily.

tell me about these stones, mr. stone genius .
That last picture looks like Epidot. I have a chunk maybe the size of six of your gems and payed 20€ for it. You have a bunch of common basic bitch minerals that literally every mineral trader sells. The only way you can actually make living wage off that is if youbullshit people and sell it to retarder soccer moms that read about healing crystals once.

That's Thomas' problem. His goblin appearance and him constantly shitting his pants will scare off the soccer moms
 
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.
lol. i slept last night, fool and i'm likely to go back to bed before noon. the problem is that you suffer from obsessive hate syndrome, exacerbated by DKE and chronic recto-cranial inversion. you need to insult me to beat back the waves of cognitive dissonance my words trigger in your broken brain.

lol. it's not epidote , moron. you don't even know how to spell it properly. that's himalya mine tourmaline. you can't even buy a small one for twenty pounds. this sells for $100/gram.

Imagine spending $100/gram on rocks.
