I am very impressed with the assortment and quality of these crystals and rocks. You can tell by the picture they’re beautiful. No junk! They have been rinsed. I will tumble and polish the smaller ones and leave the large in there natural raw state. I would definitely recommend ordering these! Great price as well!

We have ordered these mixes in various weights, from different continents/countries (e.g. Madagascar Mix, South American Mix etc) and from the 3 major sellers on here as well as the lesser known and after several years and looking back at the photos I've decided to go back and write reviews or ammend certain ones- especially with the disappointing quality from some newer items ordered. We ordered the 3 pound "Rough South American Mix" more specifically it says mined out of Brazil. This order arrived fairly quickly with Prime and of course when boxed alone there were broken pieces but I'm not even adding those pictures because the green fuchsite dust and Jasper chips are far outweighed by the quality found within some of the outstanding pieces. I've added some pictures to show how these rough stones look when they arrive. EVERYONE should read descriptions and reviews to know when ordering this way, you shouldn't expect a batch of clean, perfect "neat crystals". If I saw that at these prices, I'd probably be concerned. I digress. The 1st, 3rd and 4th photos show different pieces from the same batch of material but I wanted to focus on the gorgeous green beryl- var. emerald- on black matrix (quartz and black mica) and one on the gray limestone matrix- then the stunning Paraiba blue kyanite blades on matrices with clear quartz, white calcite(?), biotite mica and black tourmaline. I haven't had them lab analyzed but combining a little research with what I have learned over the years gives my best guess on the matrix parts. Also in the three pound lot was a single large translucent piece of smokey quartz in with a nice conchoidal fracture line showing for teaching, two small but nice tigers eye samples, a few deep blue apatite chunks- 1 smaller had a gummy look so I separated it, several red Jasper rocks, a couple lower grade sodalite rocks, several C grade rose quartz chunks, and lots of higher grade sparkling green muscovite / fuchsite for those like me who enjoy sparkle with their presents.
There were other rocks and minerals but I wanted to cover the best and possible worst out of the mix and say that if I resold these I know from what I see on resale sites that one of the higher end specimens pays for the entire box so the value is definitely here! It was a great mix and even though there was added weight with the quartz chunks I hope the nice pieces weren't accidents and they continue allowing them in the mixture as I plan on ordering again. For reference I bought this in August 2020 and took the photos right when they arrived but am leaving the review in September 2021.

Three pounds of Madagascar crystal roughs landed on my doorstep, and let me tell you—tumbling these bad boys was like watching a glow-up montage in a teen movie. They went in looking like scruffy backpackers and came out ready for the red carpet.

The mix is fantastic: rose quartz, jasper, agates, and a few mystery stones that make you squint and go, “Is this secretly worth a fortune?” After a tumble, they look like jewelry-grade pieces you’d expect to see under glass at a boutique (except I got them in bulk, in a bag, like a rock-candy jackpot).

Why I love them:
• Perfect for tumbling. The before/after is so satisfying you’ll want to clap.
• Great variety. Every stone feels like a surprise—no sad repeats.
• Conversation starter. Friends ask if I opened a geology shop. (I didn’t. Yet.)

Whether you’re tumbling, crafting jewelry, or just want a crystal treasure chest in your house, this bag delivers. These rocks don’t just sit pretty—they evolve. Pokémon vibes, but shinier

This is an amazing lot of crystal points, very good for the price. I am very happy with my order but I did take off one star because they are not all nice-looking specimens (or what I would consider to be A+ quality) although the energy is still very high even in the less perfect-looking ones. I did receive many that are just gorgeous A+ quality but don't expect them all to be. I haven't had much time to do work with these but I did a quick intuitive-style hand reading and about 8 of them have very high tingly energy which is immediately felt and the rest have high energy that takes a little longer to be felt. Each crystal can be programmed but some are more naturally inclined for certain tasks and it takes awhile to figure each one out. Some may be "sleeping" and their full energy may not be felt until you work with them for awhile. I cleansed and charged them under the full moon to clear them and get them ready for my uses, some of which I wrapped for wands and some I'm making into wire-wrapped pendants. Some will be used for general energy directing and clearing purposes and grids and some I may gift to friends or family.
The largest were around two inches in length and the smallest around 1". I would say these are not all top quality in appearance because some are chipped at the point, some are broken a bit and only look good on one side and some have matrix material embedded in them (a few examples of the less pretty points are shown in my last photo) but if you are using them for energy work you will be very happy with them. I might save the nicest looking ones for jewelry. There were some very nice twin crystals, two that were semi-scepters and some other unique formations, they are intriguing and I spend a lot of time looking at them and admiring them. One of my most powerful ones has some specks of dark green chlorite(?) inside.
I was hesitant to give this anything but 5 stars but I contacted the company about my concerns about breakage and possibly shipping them in better packaging in the future because of some damaged points and crystal dust in the package and they did not even respond. I would gladly buy this product again at the price I paid (about $13 with Prime shipping included.)
