Hypnotic Gems Natural Tumbled Stone Mix - 25 Pcs - Medium Size - 1" to 1.5" - Average 1.25"

I think this was a nice variety of stones. Had a friend who knows a little bit about gemstones sort through them. We were a little iffy on Rose quartz and amethyst because the colors were SO pale.

So, this was an interesting collection to receive. I dropped ALL expectations on what I'd receive, and just go for that surprise result. And I was surprised. For the most part, fairly pleasantly. What I received were the following: Lapis Lazuli Amazonite (I was happy to get one. It was tiny, but grateful I got it!) Blue Quartz stones Possibly Blue Agate stones (blue lace maybe) Jade (most likely tumbled Jade with noticeable veins. Otherwise guess would be tumbled Aventurine, but a scruffy piece) Amethyst Clear Quartz White Quartz Bronzite Red Dolomite rose quartz red jasper (suspecting it is) Blue (with brown) Chalcedony Citrine Dalmatian stone Dendritic tree Agate (really cool looking. Stumped me at first, but a little research goes a long way) Possibly a brown Agate stone (but it's very murky, and difficult to identify; however, it does have a noticeable band on one side that leads me to lean towards agate. Stumped on this one). Anyway, I got a very good wide range of stones that are relatively in awesome shape and size. The rose Quartz is light, but rose quartz comes in a variety of pink shades, and these are adorably pink! The Amethyst are purple - again a little lighter than the typical deep hue we commonly associate it with, but there is a light purple amethyst, and these are gorgeously hued a beautiful tone. The red Dolomite stones - received 2 or 3 - were noticeably red with their distinctive markings / veins, but I wouldn't rule it out that I received several red Jasper. There is a noticeable neutral reddish/brown/purple stone that I am safely assuming is the actual red jasper (though, tumbled ruby? Maybe it's something else), but it is beautiful and adds to my collection well. I do recommend buying these - I recommend getting from size Medium and up, because you'll get more detail and tones, hues, and it's all very a good price.

I never like giving "Bad reviews" but Digging Dolls/Hypnotic Gems, you left me no choice! I recently purchased this set as "Plan B" in case my tumbling of other stones I purchased, from another company, didn't come out well. When I received the stones, one look at them- even without taking them out of the bag, I could tell that if I messed up my batch- we'd be tied in quality. The stones are heavily pitted, colors are pale and most/if not all have a dull shine, some have cracks in them, I'm missing two stones!, the only amethyst I have looks like it only went through the first two grit stages and then was put in the bag- overall the stones look like the rejects of a larger batch! To give you a better idea- take the worst stone in the advertised picture and it far outshines the best one I received in every way. The only positive things that I can say is that the size of the stones were on par and how they were wrapped for shipping was very good- but that leads me to believe that they weren't damaged on delivery, someone actually picked these and said to themselves that they were ok to give to someone, which questions their quality control. I would love to turn this review around and give out a second chance, but that batch was disappointing on all fronts.

I ordered the #C small (.75"-1") average size, #A 25pc bag for $10.99. I recieved 22 stones they were all very nice stones with nice varieties. I received Sunstone, Dalmation, Blue Quartz, Citrine, Sodalite, Amethyst, Aventurine (pink & green), Carnelian, Tiger iron, Bronzite, Quartz (clear & white) Light green Feldspar, Red Jasper. I had two chipped stones, but the stones were very pretty, nice stones. The size of the stones were as advertised. I didn't weigh the stones, however I did order from another Amazon source and got a lot more stones for my buck. So it does pay to shop and see what is available when you buy. I still liked the stones from Hypnotic Gems and felt they were of good value and quality. The small bag in the picture is from Hypnotic Gems 1lb bag. The big bag was a 2lb bag I ordered for $5 more from another source that was available and got a lot more stones.

I received my stones yesterday and i am Very happy. They came very quickly in the mail and were secured in a nice & tight bubble wrap packaging. I received a great variety of crystals such as Amethyst, Jade, Sodalite, Adventurine, Variscite, Obsidian, Red Jasper, Clear quartz just to name a few (I havent finished identifying the rest). I love, Love, LOVE that they are 100% natural and not artificial. These will be great to use for magick and meditation after I charge them under the moon. I would recommend these to anyone looking for crystals. I will Definitely be purchasing more!

Very happy with the selection I received. They're beautiful and have a lovely energy.

You should wait to judge these stones until you get them out of the bag & rinse them off. In the bag, they were a disaster. After rinsing them, I was disappointed in how many of them were very oddly cut and had numerous objectionable flaws but I think I can salvage them with some creative wire wrapping. They are polished but have flaws that could have been buffed out with some care. Don’t count on the number they quote. I got 24 of 25. Fortunately, these were purchased to play with using new techniques & the larger size ( and large is quite large because of the strange cuts that make them thick!) I’m usually very happy with my amazon purchases, but these miss the mark.

I gave 4 stars due to the stones only. The packaging was a mess. The bag the stones were in was broke and my stones were all over the bottom of the box. No cushion to be seen. Chips off one or two stones. I would never gift these without re packaging myself. The stones otherwise are gorgeous , decent sized stones! Id recommend buying for the stones that come out safely, but I feel the seller should upgrade packaging.
