Slab Cutting

For normal slabbing I charge .50 cents per square inch.  If the stone is small and has to be cut hand-held, the charge is $1.00 per square inch.  The largest slab I can cut is approx. 9"x7".  You may either have your rocks shipped to me or bring them in person to my shop located between San Antonio & Austin, TX.  You pay shipping charges from my shop back to you after cutting is completed (or you may pick up in person).  You will only be charged actual shipping charges - insurance is recommended both ways.   I only ship via Priority Mail or Parcel Post.

Please write clear instructions as to how you want your rocks slabbed (thickness, etc.).  Please also mark the stone with a marker or scribe the direction/orientation you want cut.  Please be aware that some stones may fracture or fall apart when cut.  If upon cutting I think the rock is not worth cutting further or if there is a concern, I will communicate that with you before further action is taken.  Please allow at least a week from time rocks are received until they are cut and ready for shipping back to you. Upon completion, I will send invoice including cost of cutting and shipping to be payable within 10 days via Paypal or money order. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss cutting or rocks in general. Depending on my schedule and the amount of cutting, I may be able to cut while you wait.  Please note that I do not slab flint, marble, granite or limestone.
