SET OF RUNES POLISHED TIGER'S EYE GEMSTONES

I was excited when I saw this set of runes. The tiger eye stones appealed to me, and I liked the price, too. Since this is my first set of rune stones, I didn't have a lot of information on what to look for and what to avoid. I went with this set and was very happy with the quick delivery. After opening the package, though, I was very disappointed that the stones came with no instruction sheet whatsoever. I looked online for images of the Elder Furthark and was able to fairly well match the stones up with the various letters, although some were difficult to distinguish. The set did include a small pouch, which is nice, but based on my personal experience I certainly would not recommend this as a first-time set. If I were to do it over, I would probably look for a dark, solid color stone so that the markings would be clearer. There's nothing "wrong" with this set. I just feel it might be a little more difficult for me to learn and use than a different set might have been. That, of course, is my fault. I should have done a bit more research and study before ordering a set of rune stones.

I absolutely love these runes. They are beautiful, love that they are not all the same size and shape. Only down is I wish it had a book with all the meanings. It has a bag and a hard case.

Read the reviews. They were all over the place. Mine came in a plastic with a pouch within a plastic box. Some have scratches on them. I am most disappointed that there are no instructions.

Beautiful stones, much prettier than can be pictured. The stones are rounded quite a bit; this can be a difficulty for those who consult various forms of arcane arts to help them think about their life, (or for more esoteric reasons), because many runes have different meanings when they are backwards rather than forwards, and the rounded edges confuse this matter. I simply choose to read them all as if upright. These symbols were precursors to an alphabet and a way to transmit information across time and distance. These are the Futhark runes, understood best when used with a good guidebook.

These are amazingly gorgeous. The weight on them is really good as well, which makes them feel very expensive and high quality. The only thing that made me go down a star is that the gold engraving is a little faded on some stones, which I fixed myself by going over them with a little acrylic paint and some gold flecks.

4 stars only because stones are a little scratched/scuffed in places.

Very beautiful runestones, nicely polished and carved. If anything, the only complaint would be that the size and shape of the stones can vary. This may be due to the fact that they're working with natural stones, and have to work with what they get. Not a deal breaker by any means, because the stones are polished to show off the best features of each individual tiger's eye. Recommended.

They Runes were a bit on the small side, but absolutely gorgeous! I love them! They are my favorite set of runes. And the shipping was incredibly quick. I'm very happy with my purchase!I was also pleasantly surprised that they came with a black bag. Thanks for going the extra mile for my purchase!(Picture taken next to my car keys for size reference.)
