It doesn't sound bad.You even get your stones back.

Since I live in Dallas, I may just look them up and go over there to check them out.

If I do that, I'll post a review of what I find in this thread.

Edit to add:

I just looked them up on Google Earth. They are 5 minutes from where I am now.

I read on their website they frost your cz's (zirconia stones). What does that mean exactly? Thanks.

I have been looking at Aragold some too, definitely ready for a change, as I'm STILL hemoraging from the last Midwest experience!

 

[Gulf Hunter]

Means you get them back AND your diamonds, instead of them getting "vaporized", as Midwest claims. I wonder about that too.

 

[Gulf Hunter]

Whippy, we would be VERY interested in your findings there. I am looking for an alternate refining source and consistent reliability in what I can expect. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT YOU FIND OUT!

My jeweler friend told me recently that there are so many diamonds on the market that unless a stone is exceptional it is scrapped when the jewel is on the market!

The tiny diamonds on the rings I found this year were only useful as abrasives otherwise had no value at all!!

They are not even worth the trouble of removing them from the rings when they are scrapped!

An article on De Biers (Sp?) diamond company said they had lost vertually all their sales in the past year!

Scary times!!!!!!

I have used them for the past 5 years as have several other diggers in the Dallas area. They are the real deal. When the recession hit, they would only pay 98% if you had at least 55 grams to turn in, and a sliding scale for lesser amounts. I would give them a call to see what their current prices are. They are a nice group of people to work with and we have never had any problems with weights or payments. They chemically dissolve the gold to separate it from other metals and this process will make a CZ look like frosted glass. Diamonds and most other stones are unaffected. I will post some Pict's tomorrow when I dig out my last pile of stones.
