One of the most powerful protectors of the mineral kingdom, creating a shielding force throughout the aura and strengthening the soul's natural energies from with inch the healing properties are thought to protect against the negative energies and curses of this realm. It has also been used for guiding one into multi-levels of consciousness and in facilitating visionary experiences from the past or the future. It is commonly used in transcending and astral projection. This intriguing stone is feldspar mineral and is an intermediate member of the plagioclase series. As with all plagioclase members the crystal system is triclinic and three directions of cleavage are present two of which form nearly right angle prisms. It occurs as clear, white to gray to green to yellow, blocky to lath shaped grains in common mafic igneous rocks. It is a side-effect of the molecular change which occurs in large crystal masses of producing an iridescent play of colors. This effect, is the result of light diffraction within the lamellar intergrowths ,fine, adjacent layers of the separate materials (lamellae) comprising the whole rock phase - created when conditions do not allow for sufficient diffusion to the materials' equilibrium composition.

Very Small; Look different than photos
Unfortunately, these will not work for what I need and I will likely need to return them. They look MUCH different than the photos and are tiny little pieces, all under an inch. Based on the info on the sale page, I thought I would be getting an assortment of sizes ranging from 1 inch to 2.5 inches, but the ones I got are all very small. I wanted them for wire-wrap jewelry, but these are too small. Trying to figure out if I have another use for them. Also, the stones are covered in a weird sticky/oily film! No idea what that is.

Would have been wonderful if i hadnt received such dull boring ones
Would have been wonderful if i hadnt received such dull boring ones. I also only received 6 instead of the stated 7 for some reason! And one of them was shattered looking on its front size so was completely useless for my needs :( . The other 5 were nice just hardly any flash to them at all but i guess you dont always get lucky. I have ordered from JIC gems in the past and my last order of 5 labradorites were beautiful . So in conclusion there are great batches and very bad batches, i got a bad one this time around. It's a gamble it would seem.

DO NOT BUY! The product does not match the description. The largest stone was 1 1/4" long, but the rest ranged in size much smaller, the smallest was 1/2", way too small for wire wrapping. These were assorted shapes, including rectangles, squares, cubes, and ovals. One or two looked iridescent, but the others were just "blah" looking, nothing special. Also there was a sticky coating on them, whatever that is. I can use one of the bunch, that is all. Not worth it, wish I had read the reviews, but I was clicking too fast...lesson learned.

Stones are pretty and shipping was fast so I'll probably order again ...
Really disappointing that every piece was under and inch when that's not what the description says. Stones are pretty and shipping was fast so I'll probably order again if my customers ask for finger print sized (I have tiny hands) stones but I doubt it. Pretty sad since so many reviews state they got different sizes, guess they bump all of those reviews to the top. Literally so small I almost threw away two because I didn't even see them in the box.

Love these stones!
I have ordered these 4 different times. Each time you get different sizes and shapes. I have gotten 1 pack with all small 2 packs with all large and 1 pack mixed. So you never know what you will get. A couple I have recieved have very little shine but most of them glow beautifly. I will continue to order from them.

A couple are quite thick and not useful for jewelry and most are rather dull in color
All but one are round.The photo in the description does not represent the items I received. Had a known, I would not have ordered them since my jewelry does not lend itself to large round cabs. A couple are quite thick and not useful for jewelry and most are rather dull in color. Probably fairly good for the price, but all in all I felt a let down when I opened them.

Good quality for the price.
If you get one really nice stone from this order, you have tripled your money. This is a really inexpensive alternative for buying laboradite. I have ordered several times, and occasionally been disappointed, but never with all of the stones in a batch. I make wire wrapped jewelry, and these stones work very well.

I've ordered 3 times so far and each time I have been very happy with the quality and assortment
The assortment you receive range in size from small-medium-large. I've ordered 3 times so far and each time I have been very happy with the quality and assortment. Most of my crystals have been very fiery with lots of deep blues, I drill them and make necklaces and they are turning out really beautiful! See photo:
