Guest guest Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Okay, so the seeker will find what he needs by fine tuning his/her own " mechanism " and pointing it to what he/she desires. John, I laughed as you recommended your own site because I wanted to mention Jan Haerer's site, Topaz Spirits at http://www.topazspirits.com/index.php. I recently found her due to an ARKANSAS CONNECTION with mine owners Becky and Randy! Like you, I love EVERYTHING she sells because it's always first quality and is in line with what I'm looking for. Jan also helps those of us who are attempting to increase our learning curves! I can't say enough about my experience with Jan! Thanks to Jan, I learned about starbrary crystals and searched the for them to learn more (after making some purchases w/Jan) and then I ended up at your site John because you showed up on the google search! So I'm looking at your starbrary collection and discover that you're crediting her with the information I learned 2 weeks earlier about the " STARBIES " (like newbies) because I can't ever remember how to spell STARBRARY and notice many different spellings on the Net)! Of course, I didn't know it was your site until just now! LOL... life is beautiful. And yes, your site is lovely and I will be making some purchases from you in the coming months! Yes, life in the world of crystals is definitely A M A Z I N G and one never knows what's next. If you go to Jan's site, do read her newsletters and DO sign up for her weekly listings. Jan is one amazing woman and she absolutely knows her crystals. She is a great businesswoman and gets everything to you quickly and in good shape. So buy from John and Jan. Also, I buy Herks and other special quartz from Mike Eggleston at http://www.innervisioncrystals.net/. Mike lives in upstate NY and has a good friend who owns the Herkimer mine that he buys from! Mike is one you can send an e-mail to and tell him what you want. He's never let me down when I need something that doesn't appear on his site! He has the InnerVision website and also sells on e-bay. You can definitely count on Mike for those specialty items you need and can't find. I wrote to him several months ago that I needed 2 pounds of raw amber. Sure enough, he had it, took pics and mailed the order. I was very happy with the amber and ALWAYS with his Herks. Mike will always make a deal with you, so count on him. I'm going to buy some of his AAA large Lemurians. I've been waiting for them to arrive... and they did, so off to make some purchases and send some e-mails. Oh, and I just recently (gee... I'm spending too much money lately) purchased 2 WONDERFUL specimens from Scott Schumacher at http://yuwani.com/index.html. Again, I found him while searching for the STARBIES! Take a look at his drums, light boxes and the beautiful crystal lights that he makes as well. Scott is another one you can trust to give you good service and quality items. I have 3 new and powerful crystals sitting on my altar " cooking " under the pyramid. In fact, they just arrived last week. Yes, my sister FINALLY decided to spend the money and shipped my pyramid from SC to Denver. So I don't need a new one, but I'm still in the process of cleaning up what the SC humidity did to it when it was sitting in her garage for 5 years. If you've been to SC, then you know about the heat and humidity! Anyway, that is another e-mail for another time. High end, NY style and awesome dealer, John Betts at http://www.johnbetts-fineminerals.com/. Like Jan, he has a weekly NEW LISTING e-mail that you can sign up for and find some of the BEST minerals in the world. While the high end minerals are exquisite and enjoyable to look at, he also has unusual and special minerals that he sells that are reasonably priced. You can find some very amazing things at John's website. Also, look for items that he sells (not too many, but consistently there are a few each week) because they are always VERY interesting. He had an item that I hesitated on and waited for 2 days to purchase and it was gone by the time I made up my mind. So if you begin to get his weekly offerings, act quickly because there are many people who are just like you who view his listings and buy them up! Oh, and finally... I'm sorry but you have GOT TO make a purchase from Wright's Rock Shop, another absolutely amazing Arkansas connection! Oh, and they are friends of Bill and Hillary Clintons... LOL. Bill Clinton has a ROCK COLLECTION! I would love to see it. Being the former gov of the hot spot of quartz, I'm sure he has a very interesting collection! Take a look and you'll flip out. http://www.wrightsrockshop.com/ They have everything and I'm going to travel soon to the East coast. I plan to stop in Hot Springs and spend a day or two in their shop. Of course they specialize in Arkansas Quartz, but have everything else you can think of as well. They are EXPERTS in quartz and provide great service and feedback. Well, I think that's all of my BEST of the BEST! I personally don't buy from e-bay, but I have relationships with e-bay sellers who sell me stuff outside of their e-bay stores. Mike Eggleston (InnerVision) is one of those. I have several of those guys I deal with. If you want information on them, send me an e-mail and I'll send you the information. I promise to quit now!
