I don't think people read the description of the product and have false expectations. These are raw, rough opals that are small and range in size and fire. They are at this affordable price because YOU have to do the work to clean and prep. These are NOT meant to be tumbled. You don't tumble fire opals anyway, they are far too delicate. You are receiving a 50 carat lot from a mine. Opals need to be cleaned (do not use metal - use a toothpick so as not to damage the stones, and mineral oil) After a bit of work, they are ready to set into prongs, wire wrap, or even as beautiful specimen-like pieces for display or alter.

BEWARE! These stones are TINY! The description claims that these are raw stones, suitable for Tumbling. They are NOT! They are absolutely too small to tumble, and are Low quality.Please see 2 photos - 1st in package, 2nd unpacked. U.S. Nickel in photo for scale.

Multiple small pieces arrived as pictured. Delivery was over a month, but very well packaged. The opals are encrusted with limestone and are not as "clean" as pictured. Also, the opalescent color diffraction is not as good as shown in the photo. They need a lot of polishing. However, the price point was very good, and I intend to order again.

I feel like some people may misunderstand what they are purchasing when they are placing an order for this particular product, this product is small loose individual Opals totaling up to 50 carats not a single Stone of a 50 carat weight... such an opal would be absurdly expensive... bordering on something to be cut into a Royal heirloom expensive...These small individual Stones many of them slightly less than the size of a dime if you're an American, 5 to 7mm if your measurement system likes 10s... They have wonderful amounts of fire once you have cleaned off the loose clay matrix and then can set to work polishing them into individual gemstones to be mounted on earring or in a bezel as part of a necklace.

I read all the reviews and was hopeful I’d get a few nice size pieces of opal. Unfortunately I got a lot of tiny pieces and some with very little opal in them. On the bright-side, they are real opal and some pieces have amazing glimmer to them. I may have to return because the pieces are so small it’s not usable in jewelry and can’t be displayed in my collection well. I’d love it if the seller was able to provide a few larger pieces in the listing option.

small , several had a clay type matrix incrusting it , once remove each piece was 1/2 the size , hate buying gemstone on Amazon , but price and convenience is a factor to consider, I'll usually give it a tryon smaller quantities, this time no exception, disappointing , maybe I'll crush them smaller for a inlay ring

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Pictures and description and cost. Rough stones were so small that it was impossible to do anything with them. Item returned immediately.

These ipala were packaged beautifully. At first i was a bit dusappointed becausecit looked like some tiny gravel. But after I emptied them out i saw what beautiful play of light they had . There are a coupke littke pieces that look like blacks and one looks like fire, i dod have a couple pieces that were only potch. Overall they are beautiful and the price was great. Due this small size this is only good for snaller prijects, but as I am doing memory lockets these are perfect.
