I started out buying from wholesalers here in the States and couldn't find material I was proud to resell at a price that made sense. So I went looking for the source.

Several years of small trial orders and cultivated relationships later, the list has narrowed to a handful of small mining operations in Brazil, India, and Indonesia- most of them family-run, all of them vetted for quality and consistency. Everything on this site comes to me directly from those mines- no importer, no U.S. wholesaler in between. That's what makes wholesale pricing possible on material this good.

Every lot is filmed before it ships. What you see in the video is the exact material that arrives.
