One of my top favorites and these did not disappoint! Rich oranges and one that is dark red! So excited to tumble a few. I prefer most minerals and gems in raw form but these are just begging to become beautiful orange all over
You can't go wrong with Rock and Tumble. I have ordered from them several times now and the quality is A+ on everything they have sent me. This is a great company with awesome products! I would definitely recommend them and even encourage a friend to purchase from them.
Thank you
