Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Anna- Thaigem does carry some lovely stuff- I have ordered from them a few times, but as the shipping is so expensive I've found other closer to home resources. Their shipping is 15 dollars, no matter how many pieces you're buying. This is great if you're ordering a lot (and would be a great price if you're ordering a pound or more of stuff!). But if you're only ordering a few stones that only weigh a couple ounces, its pretty steep. Unless you're ordering a lot, you can find stones just as nice that don't charge so much shipping- I ordered some stones from Hong Kong, and they sent them Airmail- my shipping was only about 6 dollars. I was very happy with their stones though They do have good product!!! One benefit is their great prices- even with the shipping being so high, on some items you can end up getting it for as much as you would spend elsewhere where the prices are higher. So if you don't mind the shipping, I would say go for it- Blessings, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 This company seems to be selling a lot and aggressively marketing their product. Has anyone bought anything from them? Were you satisfied? I ask because I am thinking of acquiring some higher-quality specimens to use in my healing work. (A friend got a drool-worthy small piece of cut/faceted ametrine that is very powerful.) Blessings and thanks, Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 more expensive and prettier looking does not mean more healing power so to speak ...if you have a bad feeling about a company you may well end up with a bad piece just to confirm your intuition so to speak ....some of my most amazing crystals are the most unassuming Fionax www.redvelvetuk.com www.redvelvetuk@... womens menstrual well-being, Pleasure Puss cloth pads, Mooncup, and other related goodies - Anna Meadows Helvie <i_amm Tuesday, March 04, 2003 4:51 PM [CrystalHW] Thai Gems This company seems to be selling a lot and aggressively marketing their product.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Although I love cut stones and use them in my jewelry designs, I feel that the 'raw' ones are more powerful for healing work, but I suppose it depends on the stone and the individual.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 By the look of the site, the items are high quality, but I think you can get them cheaper elsewhere, even without the shipping charges! samstress17 wrote: > Anna- Thaigem does carry some lovely stuff- I have ordered > from them > a few times, but as the shipping is so expensive I've found other > closer to > home resources. > Their shipping is 15 dollars, no matter how many pieces you're > buying.

They do charge $15 to FEDEX stuff to you so you kinda have to buy enough at one time to make the shipping worth it. But they ship promptly, it's taken me longer to get stuff shipped within the the US.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I know that pretty does not equal useful or more powerful. My crystal toolkit is entirely irregular-tumbleds and raw, and I love every one of them; and they all benefit me and my clients. However, recently I've come across some material that made claims for high-quality gems as opposed to raw, or lower quality, or irregular- tumbled stones; and I'd like to experiment and see for myself. Thai Gems prices seemed reasonable....TOO reasonable; plus they're all over the web and Ebay; and, well, I'm just a " nasty, suspicious hobbit " as Gollum said about Sam. Thanks for the feedback and also pointing out the $15.00 shipping price! Blessings, Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 if you could see how small and scruffy some of the gems I use for essence making are you would never buy glitzy stuff again ....and they work so well ...crystals like people don't need to be beautiful to be effective ....!!
