Don't like the picture fool you,what you really are going to get are some super cheap plastic gem that have uneven edges (which can hurt your child's skin) and rough surfaces. Although not all of them are like that, but I bought 3 bags and end up with only few are OK (still not as nice as the picture). The actual size is smaller than what the seller claims. Unless you have some very low expectation, don't buy it!

These Clear Plastic Wafers Are Not Worth the Money,

The plastic gems you will receive are very different from the item photo. This photo is clearly of different plastic gems and not the actual product being shipped.
The actual gems are 11/16" to 1" wide, but they are only 3/16" to 1/4" thick. This is very different from the photo, which shows classic deep gem cuts.
Also, the gem colors are lighter shades and probably not the rich colors a child would expect. The gems also have very noticeable seams from the plastic molds.
In short, the item photo is a gross misrepresentation of the product. A fair price for these clear plastic wafers would be up to $2, but not a penny more.

These gems are just okay. Didn't expect such cheap plastic and flat gems. I thought that they would have been of a sturdier material. They also don't tell you in the description that they are only in packages of 12. For the price and the quality there should have been more. Not worth the buy in my opinion. Maybe for half the price I would consider buying more but I think I can do better elsewhere.
