I'm not sure if the turquoise is genuine as the inner side of the hole reveals earthy color, instead of turquose color.Agates look fine.

I make a lot of things using crystals and semi-precious stones and have done for many years, so I was eager to have a look at these and see what they were like andI thought 200 8mm polished round beads in a selection of colours and types sounded good for £13.49 (at time of writing).The beads come in a click shut see-through partitioned plastic case which is good for storage and keeping the beads sectioned into their right places.The beads I've looked at so far as smooth, nicely polished and have a clear centrally drilled 1mm hole.The selection of stones are Coffee Agate, Lapis Lazuli, Green Agate, Pink cat's eye, Fancy Jasper, Black Agate, Purple Agate, Turquoise, Rose Quartz and Moonstone. Although I know from experience that colour variation within natural stones can be quite different, the colours of each type of bead here were relatively uniform and very muted in the pack I received compared to the photograph in the product page. Some of them look so similar to each other it's quite difficult to tell them apart.The set I received was certainly nowhere near as bright and vivid as portrayed, which was disappointing.Put it this way, if I'd picked these up in a shop, I wouldn't have bought them.Quality wise, they're okay and have no rough parts, but the lack of colour and variation lets them down - at least in the set I received.

I was really disappointed with the quality of the crystals in this bead assortment. They are very low quality crystals.
