I ordered 25 pounds of agates. 10 pounds of Brazilian Agates , 5 pounds of Mexican crazy lace Agates , 5 pounds of large Botswana agates and 5 pounds of medium Botswana agate I thought I had enough agates to cut in half and polish for a week or two. I thought I would have 5–12 agates to cut. I didn't get to cut or polish one.
The large Botswana agates, to me look like small but they were tumbled so polished. so I couldn't cut and polish them. I thought I was buying rough Botswana agates and I could've sworn I was in the rough rock category I don't even think they have a tumbled category. same with the medium size I thought I was getting rough Botswana agates. The medium Botswana agates where tiny tumbled agates. The 10 pounds of Brazilian agates, was one Giant football size rock with the whole outer crust crumbling off in the box and in my lap the big window on it shows nothing but gray no color or bands I have no idea how I'm gonna get it cut I guess I have to pay someone to cut this giant antic football to hopefully see if there's any color on the inside because there's nothing on the outside probably gonna cost me $100 just to see what's on the inside The 5 pound Mexican crazy lace agate was like you guessed a giant rock, I guess weighing 5 pounds it looks like some kind of jasper to me not Mexican crazy lace maybe some mookatie or some kind of red and gray Jasper but I don't see any kind of Mexican lace at all. Plus I can't cut this giant rock either it's probably gonna cost $75 to get it cut and to see if there might be some Mexican crazy lace agate inside. this was my first time buying here. now my two weeks off I have nothing to do and wasted 200 bucks and have to waste another 200 to cut them then figure out how to polish these giant rocks. I'm not really one to take things back so I guess I'll just the loss. those tiny pebbles they called Botswana agates ill throw in my front yard or something they are useless
I guess you gotta tell these people exactly what you want or they just give you the bottom...
Read morei have ordered twice from this company because i learned about this company from Rob at Michigan rocks on youtube. the first order was during new years 2022 and they shipped me an incredible 5 pound petoskey stone....complete...and the second was a week later. the second order impressed me. so much so, that i decided to leave this review to show my appreciation. i ordered at 11:23am and had the package at my door almost exactly 24 hours later through fedex. that's better than Amazon.
