I am sending you pics of Turkish Light, Meduim, Tumbled. I am also sending you the pic of Ottoman Brown (my favorite travertine) I know you didn't ask for the ottoman brown but I thought you might be interested for your other projects. Please let me know the color you are interested in.  We have the colors you need... I will send you FOB prices. Click here to see images.
We are interested in Turkish Light travertine (1,500 sqf), NOT polished, honed, filled, (see ad i. above), if possible color more yellowish like the Roman travertine, as well as tumbled-light travertine (1100 sqf, see ad iii.), if possible color also more yellowish. Please send FOB prices. Can you send also samples? - What about randomised German Solnhofen stone (see ii. above)? 
Question: can you provide the turkish medium travertine with thin veins, honed and filled, 12 x24x5/8", 1500sqf? If so please send FOB prices. (oct 25, 2002)
Thank you for your interested in our travertines...Below is the answer to your questions.
We are interested in Turkish Light travertine (1,500 sqf), NOT polished, honed, filled, (see ad i. above)-
we don't carry polished travertine, because travertine will eventually come back to its low-hone anyway. so as your request, we can supply that material. 12x24x1.2, however, I recommend you to get 1.5cm thickness, since the stone is 24 cm wide. but we can also do 1.2cm... FOB turkey port $2.52
if possible color more yellowish like the Roman travertine, as well as tumbled-light travertine (1100 sqf, see ad iii.), if possible color also more yellowish.
it is very hard to understand the color criteria when you say "more yellowish".. I will send you 2 samples,so you can choose between them. for example our turkish delight is more towards the beige color scheme. I will send you that as well. we can supply 24x24x1.5 tumbled $2.80
Can you send also samples?
I will send samples once I get your contact information from findstone. I will also send our trade references in the US. Our material is TOP quality, I know everyone says that but our references will confirm this.
What about randomised German Solnhofen stone (see ii. above)? 
I am not familiar with this stone. if you can send me pics I can look into it. but we only carry Turkish stones. however, I will ask our sales reps and maybe we can find you some resources.
can you provide the turkish medium travertine with thin veins, honed and filled, 12 x24x5/8", 1500sqf? 
yes, i can also provide this. FOB price $2.42
 
THANK YOU. We intend to order:
1. 1500 sqf turkish delight, thin veins, beige color scheme, not polished travertine, 12"x24"x1.5, FOB turkey port $2,52
2. 1100 sgf  turkish delight, cross cut, beige color scheme, tumbled travertine, 24"x24"x1.5, FOB $2.80
 
1. is for a patio and 2. is for a swimming pool area.
 
Questions:
a. The total amount is 2600 sqf. How much is the cost (CIF) from your port to Honolulu?
b. Can you send two samples of 1. and 2.?
c. How are the payment Terms and condition? (1/2 down and on arrival and check of material in Honolulu the rest?).

The problem is the order is less than a container load and located in Hawaii. so if i send the shipment from here, you will pay a fortune. but if you import you will pay the same. so I think the cost of shipping is getting you...
1. 1500 sqf turkish light, thin veins, beige color scheme, not polished travertine, 12"x24"x1.5, FOB turkey port $2,52
2. 1100 sgf  turkish light, cross cut, beige color scheme, tumbled travertine, 24"x24"x1.5, FOB $2.80
this was the order... tell them they are looking at, at least 1500-1700 for ocean shipment from Turkey to Honolulu... and then no duty because Turkish material is duty free. and if they can fill out a credit application I can do 1/2 down, and 1/2 after inspection... the customs costs depends on the honolulu port over, here we pay around $300...
