Here's what we have (or at least what we have had time to enter on the web!). If you don't see it here ask us ! Our stock changes quickly so please check back. Because of differences in shipping depending on location you select and pay for shipping - which can really be quite reasonable given that most stone is pretty heavy. Also all prices are in Canadian Dollars - which gives you folks in the U.S. about 1.5 times the purchasing power.

Also for those of you concerned:

All our rocks are Y2K compliant !!!!!!!!

Here now - Yes - actual pictures of the rocks!!!!

Please note - we have made every effort to ensure the images look like the rock we are offering but due to the nature of rock there may be a variation in the actual rock you receive. Some of the rocks are coated with lacquer in order to show the polished colour.

This Months Special: - Rhodonite Tumbling Stock- nice pink material - some larger pieces that can be used for cabs - $1.00 /lb plus shipping 5 lb. minimum.

This material is getting hard to find - nice pink with some black patterning - from Hill 60 and Saltspring - both these location are no longer producing so it is first come first serve - various size rocks - 1/2 lb to 2 lbs. - $2.00 / (generous)lb - you select and pay for shipping. Slabs are available at $3.00 a pound.
 
Just a note - Rhodonite is about the only "Officially" recognized gemstone found on Vancouver Island.

Nice small pattern of white "tracks" in black basalt - available as slabs - $4.00 a pound.

flwrsml.gif (26974 bytes)Flowerstone Porphyry

White feldspar crystals arranged in a flower like pattern in black basalt. Local to Vancouver Island and the West Coast of BC. A favourite around here - all sorts of patterns - from small to large - takes a polish or nice just as a plain rock. Choice grade (small patterns - good contrast between feldspar and basalt) $3.00 a pound in slabs. Select grade - larger pattern but good contrast $2.00 a pound solid form. Regular grade - still really nice $1.50 a pound in solid form. We have pieces in solid form from 1.5 to 50 lbs (approximate). Slabs are available in Select and Regular but a cutting fee applies. If you are a Suiseki or Beseki buff - we have some pieces of this material that are excellent for that. We don't mind helping you find just the right stone. We will even send an image of the actual stone if you like.

A medium green stone with red spots in it - quite attractive - medium hardness compared to agate - works like regular jasper- works well. $2.00 a pound in solid form, $3.00 in slab. We have nice new material in.
