The Fantasia® brand of Banded Agate tumbled stones you are ordering are 100% natural and made only with high grade hand selected Banded Agate rough Fantasia purchases directly from the mine in Madagascar. While there can be a variance in the color, patterning, size and other characteristics of all natural stones, with the hand selection process Fantasia ensures that their tumbled Banded Agate is always made from only the highest quality rough stones currently coming from the mine. This allows every stone sent to have the best quality possible which has come to be expected from the Fantasia brand. The size of the individual pieces will vary and most will be between 0.75" and 1.25". These stones are sold by weight and not the number of pieces, but for those wanting an estimate in most cases there are around 40 pieces per pound. We want to stress this is not guaranteed and if the rough material we start with is a little larger or smaller your order could contain as few as 25 pieces to as many as 60 or more pcs per pound.

VERY IMPORTANT: These stones are natural earth mined stones that have been hand selected, tumbled and polished. Even after being tumbled it is possible to still have some natural flaws in the stones. Some material types tumble smoother while others will still show some natural imperfections even after polishing. It is possible to get a small number of pieces that have a small chip or scratch in them which occurred during shipping and this is normal. If you have any questions about this feel free to contact Fantasia Mining here on our website prior to ordering and we will do our best to assist you.
