    "Here are the negatives... 1) one of the stones was unglued and broken in half (might have been damaged in shipping) 2) two of the stones were chipped 3) I think some of the stones were misidentified (but I am not an expert) 4) not too much variety in stones (a whole lot of jasper) and 5) took over 3 weeks for me to receive it (over 2 weeks before they even shipped it). Here are the positives... 1) all the stones are the same size and calibrated (great to use for jewelry) 2) helped me a little bit in identifying my mixed cab. parcel and 3) where else am I going to get 28 cabs for less than $7? Overall it was worth the $ that I paid for it, but I would not buy it again."

    "The card I received had one stone that had become unglued. I was thankful that it was only one, because I would have had no idea which stone went where if more than one had become detatched. I bought it to help me with cabochon identification. I don't think it will help me much, because most of the stones are unpolished and I think some are misidentified. I did an image search on yellow turquoise, and the pictures were actually yellow. My sample is a charcoal gray. Since I'm no expert in cab id, I can't definitively refute it, but I couldn't find a gray example in my search."

    This was a mistake to buy, June 26, 2008

    "I once read a review here that they wished they had a slingshot to use on the purchase they made. I laughed at the time because it did sound funny. Well, I sit here now and here I am wishing I had a sling shot because I purchased a total of five sets of these and they all stink! Most of the stones have NO luster what so ever. Just dull everyday looking finishes... no shine. Believe it or not, with buying five sets, it is amazing how many different shades of one stone there are? Certain stones on these sets don't even look close to each other in color or finish from one set to the next. Just don't buy these and you won't have to return them like I will...."
