Used this vendor?

Hi All, Has anyone used Kashmir Blue as a vendor of colored stones? How was your experience? Sundragon

I have never bought anything from them but have perused their website to ogle their gemstones. They sure do have some yummy eyecandy.

I haven''t but I have seen him on this forum once or twice.

I am thinking of taking the plunge, but I''m a little reluctant without some feedback. I''m looking for aquamarines and amethysts, any exceptional vendors of these stones that you know about? Tell me, have any of you asked Dan Stairs about specific types of stones and sizes? Sundragon

If you have a specific size, shape and colour & saturation, give Wink a buzz at www.winkjones.com
He came up with matching blue sapphire side stones for my RHR.
Garry of www.diamondexpert.com is another great vendor.

I have asked Dan about specific stones & sizes. He will basically work with what he currently has or will soon get. If he doesn''t have it, he''ll keep an eye out but my experience tells me that he will not actively try to source the rough/stone for you.

Thanks for all that information, Chrono. I will contact Wink. I think I need to do some thinking about the size I want. Sundragon
