Hello my dear friends!
So one day I came across a listing for crystals on AliExpress.
I looked at one, then another, and another, and the next thing I know is that I ordered
$100 worth of crystals.
Most of them have not arrived yet, but I was so stoked about the ones
that did, so I decided to make a video.
The first one is a pyramid.
There is a whole bunch of different ones, this one is made from the stone called mahogany
obsidian.
The cut is impeccable, and it is totally proportional and symmetrical.
The packing was a bit of an overkill in my opinion,
but I'd pick that over a plain manila envelope any day.
The next package was shipped by e-packet, which I really appreciate.
And it's a big one too!
Look at this packaging, such diligence and care.
Let's see what's inside!
This one is mahogany obsidian as well, but in the shape of an egg.
Again, very nice cut, and a beautiful stone.
Really, I can look at these details all day.
Here we have my personal favorite: a red jasper sphere.
I don't just like the color, I love how it looks like a tiny planet, like
Mars or something.
This thing is actually heavier that you would think, even heavier than the mahogany obsidian
egg.
I was kind of disappointed with this druzy agate eye.
It costed just as much as the other two, but it ended up being much smaller.
Although, I don't know much about rocks, and my guess is that it is more rare,
thus the price, and maybe, just maaaaybe, I should keep my mouth shut.
Oh, and there were two wooden stands that came along, for the obsidian mahogany egg
and the red jasper sphere.
This package looks pretty big, let'see what's inside.
Okay, so that's the 12-piece semi-precious stone set for $5.
We're not going to look at all of them, just at the ones that I liked the most.
It's kind of hard to understand which is which, because they are unpolished,
and look quite different from what's on the packaging, so if you guys know which is which,
please leave a comment below.
In the same envelope we got the 2 pieces of druzy blue agate.
It appears to be unrefined, and in its natural state.
It's pretty sparkly and colorful, and the primary color is blue,
with some golden color.
The last one is said to be a clear quartz sphere, although I am uncertain whether it
really is quartz, or just a piece of glass.
I did a drop test from about 1 meter, or 3 feet for my American friends,
and it didn't break or get any scrathes or cracks, it just bounced off the floor,
which I found mostly comforting and reassuring.
Looks like I should be able to use it for taking optical illusion pictures.
Overall, I think it is a pretty succefful haul, and yes I did get a custom calendar
with the pictures of my dog, it's just a silly present for Maria.
