nice rocks.....im happy with them, quick delivery

Rock enthusiast beginners will love these stones😃

A beautiful assortment of crystal and colourful stones and racks to accentuate my plantars! The quality is excellent!

You get what you get. You will have at least one of each stone listed and some “assorted stone” (in our case a couple of small pieces of agate) but in our batch there was too much white and rose quartz for my taste. Still, there were some nice stones and we will keep them for tumbling. (I suspect I’ll also try again to see what’s in a second batch. If it’s again dominated by white and rose quartz, I’ll let you know.)

LOVE YOU GUYS!

Hello friends! So I would like to start this review by saying there will be a tldr summary at the bottom lol. Also the image with the tiny polished rocks is just a little gift they added to my package and I thought that was nice. To start off some people here have no idea what "raw natural" gems and stones look like and their reviews show it haha. So for those of you thinking of purchasing but are now worried that their stones will be dull and boring in color THAT IS NOT TRUE. Well kind of. Really quick, if there are any rocks around your house outside I want you to take a look, go outside and pick up a few. Gravel is a good example. Now when you look at them they are all greyish and dull right? If you look really close some might have some color but nothing really special about them right? Now rinse them in the sink. Did they suddenly get darker? Did some colors you didn't see originally pop? Did the dusty look suddenly become bright? Exactly. These raw and natural rocks will come dusty because that's just how natural rocks are and also they were being tossed and tussled in a bag in a box for a couple days. Now I will say I only had a few chips which is great. But when you get your rocks don't be alarmed just rinse them in some warm slightly soapy water and voila their colors will appear. In my pictures unfortunately I was too excited and I actually rinsed them once before I was able to get a picture so the picture of them all on the towel is actually after one rinse and they look so much better than when they arrived. Now when they dry after the rinse they will return to a slightly duller version of their colors. If you want them to stay bright and colorful you will need to polish them. That's just how rocks work unfortunately, but if you have a tumbler these will be perfect for you. If not you can use a dremil/rotary tool and some polish grit. As for texture, don't expect them to be smooth because they aren't. They are rough and bumpy and oddly shaped. These are a great value for the price actually, if I wanted to I could smooth and polish these out and sell them and make a pretty decent profit off it but alas I am just using these to practice my stone cutting hobby. Anyways I hope this helped.TLDR: Got dusty dull looking stones??? Wash them and be amazed at how water works!! Polish them if you want them to stay shiny and colorful.Stay safe out there friends!

I bought two 3lb bags.Like:Large piecesCheap cost at a little over $5/lbNo shipping chargeNo like:Over half of the contents were white quartz or obsidianOther sellers on Amazon have mixed bags that are also a little over $5/lb with a much better variety and less quartz/obsidian

Great mix of stones
