GM GEMMART USA50+ Carats Mixed Gems Natural Loose Gemstones | 100% Natural Loose Gemstones bulk| Grade A+ (natural inclusions) |Hand Cut and Polished | 20-30 pieces Gemstone Wholesale Lot – by GM GemMartUSA (MX-60001)

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 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.

The media could not be loaded. I love these! I’m giving this 4 stars because it’s true that there are some scratches and inclusions, so these aren’t ones to buy if you make high end jewelry and want consistent quality. However, most of the ones I received are great! I read the reviews beforehand, and I’m perfectly happy with what I got. I’ve never set faceted stones before, so these will be practice for me. They are perfect for that, as they are a variety of shapes and sizes. I must say I received a lot of teardrops though. The facets aren’t all perfect, but I see only a few glaring errors. I received 35 stones, and I would feel comfortable selling jewelry made with most of them (if I do well setting them). There are only two with so many scratches and/or inclusions that I wouldn’t even wear them. My son collects rocks so he’ll be thrilled if I give him those. I think the variety of gems was pretty good for my order. If you are just wanting these to practice, or for a collection or to play pirate, I say they’re perfect!!!

This is the second time getting this and this time I had less different types of stones. They need to make sure that you get all the stones they have.

I have ordered from this company several times now, and been beyond satisfied every time. This batch gave 10 perfectly cut rounds to set and lots of other shapes, as well as plenty of variety in color. For $10 I came out with enough nice cuts to make around $250 profit. You literally are not going to beat these prices. I’m honestly not sure reading the other reviews why people are complaining. It gives you the size ranges, and the variety of stone in the description. I don’t know what people expect for $10 worth of faceted stones but someone had to take the time to clean and cut every single one. There are some off cuts, chips, or inclusions but I find uses for those even. It’s hard to not find value in a pretty flashy stone. You will get plenty of stones to choose from and a good variety at a dirt cheap price. You could gift a vial of these stones to almost anyone and they are going to love them. The surprise of what you’ll get brings back child like joy. Kids would love these things to start collections or even just to play with their little dragon hordes
