I have bought rock, bought the hounding map, and chatted. i found him honest and knowledgeable, but it is a hobby business, and customer service is sometimes not as high a priority as someone looking to grow a business their livelihood depends on.

I know Tim personally, we're in the same rock club and he was the guide on my first ever group field trip. Yes, he has a full time plus day job so service may be a little slower at times, but you will be pleased with what you get.

John, I don't know him but do know a guy that sells (and mines his own material) Davis Creek. Mountain Mikes Creations I think is his web site. His name is Mike Mobley. He started years ago and bought most of his equipment from me when he started making bowls. He now is really into knapping and sells blanks for knives, etc. I met him at a show in Northern CA and he ended up behind me at the Quartzsite Pow Wow this year. It is a pretty small world.

thanks rockpickerforever Jean. Alibaba, I've looked but never leapt in, always afraid of getting scammed. I'll check him out though.

You're welcome, John. This is only info I found online, I have never purchased from him before, heck, don't even know him!
