    I probably have enough crystals to keep most of my boat anchors happy should the need for one arise.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    I emailed Jan and Bomar yesterday. Jan is no longer making them, and Bomar hasn't responded.

    Currently in need of about half a dozen rocks for various projects, and the possibility of more to come.

    I'll say the following: Whomever can provide a similar service as an adjunct to their current business operations (instead of making it their primary focus) and won't price themselves out of the amateur market eventually stands to make a killing in this space.

    I wonder what kind of tooling that would take. Might be a challenge if it requires a lot of space.

    I bet my last heartbeat one of you smart guys could, if properly positioned, take over that niche and fill it beyond well.

    Wouldn't that be friggin cool? - Island Crystals - and I could boast to anyone that gave a shit that I kinda knew the owner(s). In a generic sense. I guess. I dunno, I'll go shut up now.

    Like that post was...
    Moving on, my posts are not helpful

    There is hope:

    http://www.quartslab.com/

    An enquiry regarding their offerings will be tendered then if a favorable response is received I'm going to send a fair amount of project work their way.
