I'm not even sure how to begin to review this, it's awful.
I'm not even sure how to begin to review this, it's awful.
I received exactly 1 lb (16 oz) and way more than 10-20 pieces, not including the pulverized dust that was in the package. It was very poorly packaged. The stones were able to grind around in the "padded" envelope they were shipped in, hence all the pulverized stone.
I'm not all that sure that it's tourmaline either, they were so shiny when I opened the envelope that I almost thought it was coal. Plus there was an odor. (I actually tried to burn a little piece, it did not.)
"Stones have been soaked in water to showcase its potential!" Soaked in water? My foot! They have been coated in some kind of smelly oil! Which I tried to wash off with a mild soap and water, but nothing changed. The smell stayed on my hands and wouldn't go away.
Some of the pieces did look like tourmaline, but again the smell and the unnatural shine to a "rough" stone just has me questioning this product. I have 1 piece of genuine black tourmaline that I purchased from a reputable seller and it looks nothing like these at all. I'm going to include some pictures and it is the exact product I received. The one piece a little off to the right is my original tourmaline that I did NOT buy from this seller. I'm very unhappy with this purchase. I won't buy from them again!
