I refer to the message on your forum from GEMCAL Co. Ltd Bangkok Thailand.
dated Aug 3, 1996.

  1. Can you tel me their Email address?

  2. I would like to know if this Company or any other Co. in Thailand can
    give me a price to facett/Polish corundum (Sapphires/Rubies)?
    In our Laboratory we grow Gem quality crystals and we would like to know the
    cost of having the rough crystals facetted/polished in Thailand.
