Fantasia Materials: 1 lb Grey Agate Rough Stones from India

As with my other purchases from Fantasia Mining, I was completely flabbergasted (I AM RUNNING OUT OF ADJECTIVES FOR F.M.!!!) at the size and quality of the Iolite I received! The LARGE (and when I say LARGE, I mean LARGE) piece alone was worth more than quadruple the price to me! Besides the AWESOME shipping (ordered Friday morning and received Monday!), the quality of all of the stones I have purchased far exceeded all of my expectations. Iolite is a very difficult stone to appreciate for a lot of Crystal/Gem collectors I know, because it's beauty can't really be appreciated until held to light (a beautiful semi-transulcent gray-purple-lavender shade), but I very appreciative of this Iolite - more than I was before! I am a huge collector of raw stones - usually purchasing each stone individually - WAY OVERPRICED - but I am so very pleased that I found Fantasia on Amazon! I will purchase from again an again . . . and hopefully, I can get to Arkansas and do my own digging at the mine! If you are as passionate as myself for raw stones, do yourself a favor and purchase from Fantasia!!!! You won't regret it!

I ordered 1 lb selection. I recently have ordered several pounds of raw stones for wire wrapping from several different sellers. This is the only set however I have ordered from Fantasia Materials. Of the purchases of raw stones this has been my least favorite to date.Pros:Decent stones overall some will work for my needs.They sent a very pretty free clear crystal quartz with my purchase (very tiny but pretty & nice gift)Cons:- After soaking in water (as I always do to view the visual quality) they are much duller than expected compared to photo. I realize that different monitors view photos differently however there is a Huge difference here compared to other purchases from other sellers of raw stones.- Of the pound of stones only 10 were 1 inch or larger (about 4 oz total).- About half were really just chips I'm not sure what I am going to do with yet. Most to small for wire wrapping.- The one substantial piece (twice as large as all the other 9 'larger' pieces) was about 65mmx25mm (about 2.5"X1"). Unfortunately it was extremely dull & 'rocky' (sadly the dullest of the entire package) thus without tumbling or polishing to see if I can get something from it not attractive enough for wire wrapping or jewelry making as a raw stone.Overall I rate this purchase as OK. Would not purchase this item again from this seller.

small but good, as long as you remember they are rough stones and that they won't be bright blue stones. some were more dark blue than others, some were mostly brown on the surface.

I was so pleasantly surprised with this black tourmaline. This pound I received came in a variety of shapes and sizes from largest being 2 1/4" to smallest at 1/2" and most chunks had streaks and bits of SPARKLING, lustrous mica throughout and a few even had some semi-transparent, caramel-colored quartz embedded within the crevices.Would definitely purchase this again! 💖

While I cannot argue that I did receive 3 pounds of moss agate, I was a little disappointed that this certainly wasn't from the best lot of agate around. Very few samples have that transparent/milky white area that makes moss agate so appealing. Most of my samples are of the more dense "moss" part of the agate. Still moss agate, just, not the best samples of it. It was shipped and arrived quickly, so that is most of the stars for this product, unfortunately.

I have run out of adjectives for all of the crystals/stones I have purchased from Fantasia Mining. Each and every piece of Moonstone, I am utterly amazed at the natural beauty! As with all of my purchases from Fantasia Mining, what you get exceeds any expectation you may have about your purchase. The price cannot be classed as anything other than "BEYOND BARGAIN"! If you purchase polished stones from a metaphysical store, 1. you don't know the source of the stone; 2. You have no clue as to the treatment of the stone (chemicals, etc.); 3. If the stone is natural or manufacture; and 4. You will pay a ridiculous markup! Crystals and stones in their natural form are the only way I prefer to purchase, and finding a supplier that provides such quality for such a fantastic price was a dream come true! This Moonstone is beautiful! THANK YOU!

Excellent quality, glad the note was included on the bags stating dirt and dust normal, to rinse so I knew. Pic uploaded is after they were rinsed, so happy they are genuinely raw rough black tourmaline and fresh from the mine, minimal handling & processing. Very beautiful and will definitely be purchasing another 2 lbs within next few months...tip for those utilizing in energy work/altar set-up; keep the ground dust & tourmaline particles in the bottom as earth element, still very powerful!! Thank you so much Fantasia Mining, very happy!! 😊

It was a bag of rocks! What else can you say? I wasn't expecting gold nuggets and I was not surprised.

The stones were large and jagged. I have tried tumbling them and they are coming out pitted and unusable for anything.
