Packaged well and quick!
good sized peices, no scraps in the bag adding weight. just quality rocks of good color and size. will order again!
Some of these stones are absolutely amazing after tumbling in stage 1 for 10 days. 2/3 of them are very pitted and would literally take a month or more in stage 1. That was disappointing but the few that are untitled are gorgeous! I'll take the good over the bad.
Would I reorder? Honestly not sure. The tumblers will tell.
The bloodstone rough is nice enough, although a bit small.
The price is the problem.
For such a premium price, one expects to get a more premium product.
However, the same (or better) quality of rock can be had for a much lower price.
The stones were as advertised for size and quantity and well packaged. Beyond that, they haven't made it into the tumbler yet. That stage should begin tomorrow. And, ultimately, that will be the true review on these stones.
