I generally buy the rough from dealers or gem shows. My bucket list has a couple of line items to visit some mines and buy direct.
Ah that would make sense that they need to be mined. Still, that is a cool hobby I have never heard of before! You should make a post explaining the full process. Perhaps I will make a post explaining back country skiing as well for those who have never heard of it.
Argh! Thanks, fixed the link.

(edit: subscribed! You got me interested)
Good idea, I’ll work on a write up with pics.
