PLEASE READ
MY POLICIES HERE BEFORE YOU ORDER!
By ordering from this site you
are agreeing to all the stated policies on the linked page.
The order form is linked at the bottom of this page.
I accept electronic payments or credit cards via PayPal only! If you have a PayPal account, would like to set up an account, or would like to use their one-time transfer feature without signing up for an account, please feel free to try the shopping cart by clicking the cart button next to each item. Since S&H is by weight, I will bill S&H charges to your PayPal account later. You MUST unblock cookies and popups for the PayPal site to work! If you don't want to use PayPal, please use the order form located at the bottom of the page.
You MUST have a valid email address to use PayPal!
I will ignore orders from invalid email addresses (yes this happens, believe it or not)! You DO NOT NEED A PAYPAL ACCOUNT to use PayPal! If you choose to pay via eCheck, I will wait for it to clear before even reading your order. (Yes, I have been ripped off this way. Apparently it's a common scam used on PayPal.)
Do not ever email anyone your credit card number! If someone asks you for it, they are attempting to steal it! If you email me your credit card number, it will likely be stolen since one of tens of thousands of bots will probably intercept any email that looks like it has a credit card number in it. I wouldn't know what to do with it anyway, that's what PayPal is for.
Under "Quantity" please put the number of POUNDS for rough, the number of SQUARE INCHES for slabs. In your note, specify any details like minimum size of slabs. I will calculate S&H charges and bill you once we get the order squared away.

Type the email address above into your email program. The last character is the number one, not an I. Please note: My email address has changed as of Jan 2010 to evade the spammers. The old email address was inactivated soon thereafter so don't use it anymore as I will NOT get your email!
If you want more than 50 lbs. of any material, I can offer a volume discount. Please inquire at my email address above if you would like a volume discount.
ThundereggsClick on the name of any material for a sample photo!SOLD OUT means I HAVE NONE. Please do not click on the Cart button if the Available Quantity says SOLD OUT. (Note: I often have slabs of material long after I have sold out of rough, so ask about slabs if the material says Sold Out). Please note the sizes of eggs - if it says large eggs then ordering 1 pound isn't going to be possible! Slabs are sold by the square inch. For example, a 4"x4" slab is 16 square inches. Please Note: I always have slabs available unless the Available Quantity says otherwise. |
