Hypnotic Gems is a USA based company with an old fashioned American dedication to quality and craftsmanship in every item they produce. With their own in house quality control right here in the USA, you can be assured that every order is spectacular and that you are supporting American workers whenever you order the Hypnotic Gems brand.These rare Infinite stones you are ordering are 100% naturally earth mined rocks which come from our partner mine in India. We meet with them multiple times per year to ensure that we only get top grade stones from the best veins with all others being refused. Once they reach the USA they go through another quality control inspection to make sure they are premium quality stones which are able to bear the Hypnotic Gems brand name. On average most pieces are between 1" and 2" with around 15 pieces per pound, but since these are sold by weight and not number of pieces the exact sizes and number of pieces per pound is not guaranteed. These stones are perfect to use for cutting, cabbing, polishing, tumbling, as vase filler, in fountains, art and craft projects, jewelry making, crystal grids, energy healing, home decor, flower pots, terrariums, reiki and much more with the possibilities being limited only by your imagination!With all natural stones every piece is unique just how Mother Nature made them and no two pieces will be exactly alike. While your order will be similar to our pictures you should expect some variances in regards to shape, size, color shades, patterns, clarity and all other natural characteristics of the stones you receive.
