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, check or money
order.
Please
do not hesitate to contact me at jra@riverbendlapidary.com 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.
