🔴 Red Glass Flat Marbles Stones Rocks - Perfect Party Table Scatter, Wedding Centerpieces Decor, Aquarium Pebbles, Vase Filler Gems - 5 LBS (Approx 500 pcs) Review

These are not 'colored glass', they have a gel coat which will dissolve in water and peel off leaving clear pebbles of glass.

Looked good when I received it but not good for my project. I used them to fix the plants in the vase and the paint started to come off. It's possible that the color will stay if they don't touch the water, but I can't confirm that.

I was looking for red glass stones to decorate this jar. These worked great! I was worried there wouldn't be enough pebbles, but I was wrong! After the amount I spent on a jar, there was still half a bag left.

Pay attention to previous reviews. These gems are coated in a red synthetic gel that dissolves in water. While this is not a problem, unless you soak them, they cannot be used in an aquarium. Luckily I soaked mine before using so I didn't have any fish kills, but it was very difficult to get rid of any residue that came off. I have a few clear gems left that I think work great but were not at all what I wanted when I bought them.

I use these glass beads to fill the bottom of stone jars when I put freshly cut flowers from my garden as gifts for friends. Clear baubles look good and their shape, oval rather than round, looks good in a floral gift and weights the glass accordingly. It's easier for me to buy them here at smile.revain.com than to go to Michaels and get more for the same money. I will buy again.
