That would be due to Tonga stopping all LR exports last year

AHHHHH I see.... I found Marco Rocks has a some.. anyone done business with them??

I bought Marco Rocks about a year and a half ago and the pieces were very nice, I was very happy with the order. I did read on RC that there have been some problems with shipping taking forever because he couldn't keep up with the orders and had a delivery problem getting it himself. Some people had to wait almost 2 months. I don't know if that is still the case but I would definitely order from him again.

TAS always has ton of rocks. If you are willing to pay, I'm sure Max can sell you couple pieces from his display. The ~150G container he uses for LR has some very nice pieces too.

He has slab IIRC around in one of the sumps

Just remember shelf rock cost a lot more. Usually double the regular rock. Ask Max.. He will sell you anything for the right price ;D..

So does branch and OTA is selling it for less then landed cost (see above post re: price)

I think they are selling it at that price this weekend only, for the 2 day sale.
