I love gems. I love all sorts of gemstones.. I have loved them since I can remember..These are are real gemstones - not just found out back in the dirt all nasty :). No. These are beautiful. And WAY more than they look when you open the container in which they are. I put pictures showing exactly what i got when I opened them.About the pics:* I clearly got 3 orders* The cotton is THICK, taking up most of the container, obviously put in to keep them from moving around in transit - risking damage.* The cotton also makes it seem there are fewer stones... the first one full of gems after taking the cotton out shows how many there are. A lot.* That last picture shows a container that literally POPPED open with the amount of beautiful gems due to the pressure of being so many and closed with the protective cotton/lid. It actually startled me.* I set up everything that came in - including these BEAUTIFUL little gold rose satches. NICE touch.* Also most impressive to me was that they had been cleared by GIA. I see SSOOOOO many of these kind of things okayed by the "GPA" or the "GNA" or should just mark them "G BS A" 😊 The reason that gem companies, try to show you something with a "G *something* A" is because they can't say "GIA".The Gemological Institute of America is the one you want saying your stuff is good. And that they have it means I'm going to be coming back... a LOT.I actually have more in my cart right now. 😁And your prices make it to where someone like me can have what I love.I love gems. LOVE them. And I do believe I've just found where I'll be getting them from now on. 😊Thank you. Thank you for the coolness of you.

I tested every single gem in my package with a Presidium Gemstone Tester (uses refractive index) and not a single one of these came up as glass - so they were all real gemstones! Im pretty positive they’re lab created, but that works perfectly fine for my purposes.ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE MONEY, if you ask me!

I've bought these several times, the price has went up a lot, the quality is the same. They are poor quality but ok for projects that don't require great quality.

I bought two 50c lots from the "gemmart usa" seller, fulfilled by amazon. There are more than one seller so I thought I would be specific. At the time of review I got them at $10.89 each, with free amazon shipping. If you don't want to read the whole review, in summary: they are great, yes there are flaws, yes I think it's still worth it.In my TWO lots combined (so 100 carats) I got:16 amethyst (mostly large)3 carnelian (large)2 green onyx (large)13 garnet (mostly small ones)14 peridot (mostly small ones)9 smoky topaz (mostly medium)7 blue topaz (small)8 whiteish topaz (large, most had a very very pale blue or greenish hue, they weren't pure white)21 lemon topaz (some large some small. some may be citrine)TOTAL: 93 stones, at @24 cents per stone! (again, I got two lots)Each lot was as described in the listing. I got a good mix of large stones and small stones, but nothing was tiny in my opinion. The largest stones would make a very impressive ring. The smallest stones would be adorable in a shaker locket. There were very few actually damaged stones, damaged in a noticeable way that may hamper using them. The most common defect I noticed was internal cracks. I love them all. I don't have plans to set them in anything, just to collect them, but if you were looking for cheap stones to set in jewelry, I think you will find enough pairs and large stones to make something good. The pictures other posters are showing is about what I received but of course your scoop could be very different! If you will be taking a very close look at each of them and only want the perfect ones, maybe you think it won't be worth it. But it's literally $10.89. To me, it's clearly worth it.When birthday parties are a thing again I think all manner of child would love to have actual "treasure" with value, as party game prizes, loot bag filler, or a super cool treasure hunt in the backyard. Or maybe even burying them in your childs sand box. That would be so cool.

Quite a variety.. 143 were sent (the listing said 20-30), though many are chipped. I have no scale to test their weight with, btw. Check the last pic - some (many) are with air bubbles. They're... glass? resin? That's what I read that this indicates, though I have some volcanic glass (indigo gabbro & labradorite) with long, irregular bubbles. These bubbles are all perfectly round, contrastingly. I'm reminded how the listing downplays their value - not diamond, emerald, ruby, sapphire, which would be worth somethin'. I dunno, so I'm grading this ☆☆☆, despite the quantity. Just $10, after all, and such a mystery. Also, that they're ALL otherwise "flawless" (no internal character) sorta screams "glass" to me. I am not a geologist. The other gems I have are VERY dynamic inside, though. I've seen on youtube that resin can get bubbles, when you mix it, that end up in the final product. One final observation: Many are the same cut, same size, same color. I just find it a bit "factory kerchunk" suspicious. Maybe they went through a brief rock tumble to acquire their "cutting error" chips. Maybe there's a secret gemcutting school that practices on colored glass. Whatev. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and I apologize. I have no idea.
