What our customers say

After inheriting my grandfather's extensive fossil collection I contacted several dealers on the internet and they all wanted to steal my fossils for 10 cent on the dollar. I found a business card where my grandfather had made some purchases from Stones & Bones many years ago and decided to contact them. Richard was very thorough in getting details on the fossils and their origins and asked for some photos. After receiving the photos he said he would be interested in the entire collection. I provided a full list and photos, he reviewed them and made me an offer which was far higher than any others I had received. Richard drove to my location and paid me on the spot and even raised some of the offers after he appraised some of them higher than they appeared in the photos. I cannot over state how impressed I am with his complete honesty and trustworthiness.
