3 lbs Bulk Rough Madagascar Stones Mix - Large 1" Natural Raw Stones Crystal for Tumbling, Cabbing, Fountain Rocks, Decoration,Polishing, Wire Wrapping, Wicca & Reiki Crystal Healing

Good selection of colorful and different pieces of stone. I will purchase more.

My husband ordered this for me just to sell a few inexpensive stones in my Crystal shoppe. We didn’t have very high hopes since the price was so low, but got it anyway and were very happy with the stones we received.Let me start by saying that the package arrived very quickly. The stones were shipped together in a heavy bag with a lot of dust and debris. We briefly looked over them and removed any small chips (which surprisingly was not a lot) and the rest were rinsed in a warm bath with just a little mild soap. They soaked for about 10 minutes and immediately looked 10x better.I was amazed at the quality and size of these stones. After they came out of the rock rinse, they were individually scrubbed, dried and had an organic oil polish applied to bring out the true colors. They are stunning! And a few of them were over 3” in length! I will say that we received more of a stone selection than was advertised. We got a large chalcedony in our mix as well as some really nice tigers eye and fluorite.I made my money back on these plus some in just one day. I’m about to buy another set now! The pictures I included were taken after the stones were professionally cleaned and polished.

A big box full of beautiful pieces. I love it. Will be tumbling soon and then polishing soon after. Packaged really well with quick delivery and I couldn't pass on the price. Super reasonable. Will order from this seller again for sure. No complaints about seller or purchases or quality.

This came with large pieces as posted in the description. I just wanted a starter set to go back to my college days of IDing rocks/minerals so I wanted a few to do mineral testing on. There were 24 pieces, 11 types, so there are a number of duplicates and triplicates as you can see in the photo included with this review. As a novice I think the pieces are quite nice once they are washed off of the rock dust. You can see there are a number of dupes and triplicates. Two amethyst, five rock crystals (quartz) in colorless, white, and pink, two red possibly jasper, two tiger eye, two green unidentified rocks, etc. For the price I think it's pretty good for a beginner collector.

These are very good quality and nice size 3 LB assortment of natural raw stones. I put them on a scale and they are true to weight slightly over 3 lb. They are a very nice assortment and true to description of 1"-2". I am eager to put them in the tumbler and see how they turn out in a month. I feel they are offered at a reasonable price point for the quality of material.

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!
