"...Your website is looking better and better. Best regards, Barbara."

"...I collect gems such as these and am intrigued."
BR-April 16, 1996

"...Have you considered creating a alphabetic "catalog" or price list section on your web page? One that could be directly accessed? There is a certain awkwardness in looking at the stones for sale by going back and forth from the list to the narrative. I look forward to receiving the zircon and recutting it. Best regards, Barbara"
BS-April 30,1996

"HELP! I found you on 04/18, printed off a few pages, now I can't find you again! Where are you? I've been using Excite for my search. Been all over gems, gem stones, etc. I can't for the life of me, figger this out. I'm interested in buying a spinel you have adv. But I also want to look at all of your stones. Please tell me how to find you again"
Pam D.-May 8, 1996

"I would be very interested in seeing pictures of your entire selection of black1 opals and grey opals. Is there any way this would be possible? I am a sophomore at Virginia Tech(history & liberal arts major), but I am fascinated by gemmolgy, and plan on taking GIA courses once I graduate from tech (and would welcome any career tips you could offer). I saw your stones on the internet, and couldn't help but ask to see more (and I love grey opals)."
Jennifer L.-June 19, 1996

"...The stones have arrived, and they are deligtful. This is the first time I've ordered gems based on verbal descriptions alone, and I was quite pleased with the accuracy of your descriptions. You can be assured of my repeat business. Thank you very much!! Regards, Lori Ann"
Lori Ann-June 20, 1996

"I'm trying to locate two strands of either 6 or 8mm round rainbow moonstones. Do you have them or do you know where I can locate them?"
Leslie-June 24, 1996

"your "beryl" page doesn't work! Something about not being "parsed" correctly. ??"
AGemCutter-June 28, 1996

"...Each time I visit the site it looks nicer and nicer and is easier to navigate. Good work. By the way, the zircon I recut sold for $250. (Got any more?) Best regards, Barb"
BS-July 1,1996

"...I was interested to see your entry in the MedNetAmerica pages - it looked great. Would you like a listing in OUR lifestyle sections..."
Bob G.-July 28, 1996

"Help?!?! I'm in the market for a Paparasha (sp?). Are you familiar with this stone? It's an orange sapphire. I'm looking for one that is between 2 - 3 carats."
XZ-August, 1996

"...Received, had it mounted, it is a perfect match. Thanks again. If you have a mailing list other than the internet please put me on it. Thanks again."
Mary Anna B.-September 13, 1996

"...I submitted an order for your item number 128 a Holly Blue Quartz stone. I think you have about the best commercial site for gemstones that I've seen. Some of the images are really nice, and the content is pretty good too."
Chuck H.-September 23, 1996

"You site looks great, and I love the pictures you do have with certain stones, and would like to see more."
David C.-October 17, 1996
If we add more pictures to our web pages, it will take longer to download. Some people may get turned off and leave because of the extra time involved for downloading. We have to keep an even balance. As the Internet systems speed increases so will the number of pictures and graphics increase on our web site.-Webmaster

Very nice www site you have. Also interested in your Facetron deal. What is your phone number?"

So far I am pleased with the machine. I may be in the market for some additinal equipment in the near future."
