A good place to buy CZs?

[hummingbird3172]

I have been looking and looking and I wondered if any of you all might know of a good source. The best I have found is Firemountain gems for 4.56 for 25. Is this a good price? Also if anyone knows where to find small colored czs.....my Mom is asking for yellow....

TIA

I don't have yellow, but I do have have Blue, White and Pink:

If you decide to make a purchase, choose check/money order as the payment type and I'll invoice you. (LE discount)

I bought mine from PehnecGems.. http://www.pehnec.com/cz_white_round.htm

I think you have to buy them in bulk but they work out a lot cheaper and if you spend over $200.00 you get a 25% discount which is what I did. I just worked out that 25 of the 2mm A grade ended up costing me $1.33. I did buy them by the 1000 lot but I use a lot of them so it was worth it for me. :) They were easy to deal with and delivery was quick considering I am in Australia.

Carol, Thank you! I was thinking of them, but that was a lot bigger order than I was prepared to make....I did find a place...it was kind of funny. I was looking at an old issue of Lapidary Journal...then I flipped to the back page and I found this place:

www.gemresources.com

I felt with shipping and other fees considered they had the best prices for me....it is funny how sometimes the answer turns out to be right in front of you.

Yes the amount you have to buy does make it a bit difficult unless you use stacks of them. You might want to keep a look out for any bulk buys that people do on this site as that way you wouldn't have to get as many. Though I'd hate to be the one counting out the appropriate amount for each person. ;)

Thank you! :grin:

I ended up going with this place:

It was $7.75 for 100 and $5 for shipping, for the clear. I think the yellow ones were $10 for 100.

I think we need cast in place stones. Rio Grande has the cast in place, don't know about the other places as I can't find the info on the web sites.
