    Pretty much all the stones I have are for sale/trade. Most of these pics were taken last year, so if you're interested, let me check to make sure I still have the stone. Just for a reference, this is less the 1% of what I have. I literally have thousands of carats of stones, so if you're looking for something in particular, just lmk and I'll see what I have. Thanks

    Give me a day or two and I'll go through what I have and take some pics for you of tourmaline and rubies. The rubies are glass filled, tourmaline are untreated.

    Do you mean unheated/untreated, or just natural as in not man made/synthetic?

    Just natural not man made, it would be a bonus if they were untreated :)

    Ruby's arrived, Scott I'm very pleased, they are as good as promised - taking them to Bali to get made into jewellery!
    Guys - good seller here, great communication, quality stones. Recommended!

    Tourmaline Crystals can get quite big. I've personally seen +1metre long crystals in a wall of Calcite out at Mt Isa... until some jerk hacked them out with a pick axe.

    Broken Hill mine had vast walls of Grossularite Garnets...some as individual crystals looked like big brown soccer balls
