So what’s the verdict? Do you guys think it was worth the money? 🎄
Absolutely!! Multiple per day that weren’t all tiny, the size and amount , the variety in stones and shapes, the attention to detail in filling what you liked. So good!
I think your happiness and excitement was worth the price! And even your husband getting excited too, it’s so fucking cute!
Yes for sure 👍 really cool
This was so worth it, im confused as to what the seller considers statement pieces because to me, there were so many pieces id say were statement! Absolutely stunning!
I think the store owner is a fan of yours (in regards to kambaba). I'm guessing they saw your name on the order and knew who you were.
I watched this and probably started crying 2 minutes in. Hi, Im the owner of AutumnEclipse! Im SO excited you filmed this and hearing "Im so Happy" just made my entire year.
Thank you so, so much! Im so happy you enioyed all of these! ❤❤❤
You did so good!!
This was the best curated collection I've seen recently, well done!!
When do you start to sell advents? I’ll keep an eye out for next year.
I'll be visiting your shop for sure (once I get paid 😂)! I'm new to the rocks/crystal collections but these are so pretty!
Thank you for your commitment to making things for people to love! You did an amazing job!
I love that they are custom put together to your preferences! Glad to see they don't just treat crystals like ticked boxes but as unique individual pieces.
At first, I looked at the price tag, and thought you were nuts, but after seeing everything that you got in your Advent calendar, that is well over $500 worth of crystals, if not more. I think you made out like a bandit, and some of those pieces were so beautiful and unique that it's just absolutely mind-blowing!
To the artist that put it together, Sarah, you are absolutely amazing and you were spot on with everything that she asked for. The stunning blasts of color and pattern are absolutely beautiful, and you picked amazing pieces. I have been looking for a really good prices on towers and spheres that I think would be best spent on someone who understands like you.
Thank you both for what you do, and thank you my dear for sharing this!!!!!!
The first few days were probably worth $300!
That mini labradorite teardrop had me gasping 😮
Definitely needs to be made into a necklace!
Me too! My jaw dropped, it's so gorgeous
300$ for all these stones? That's such a good price! :O They're beautiful! Great variety in both shapes, crystal types and colors
It’s a death head moth that looks like a butterfly which is super cool! You scored on this box ! I’m so jealous!
Those mushrooms really needed a frog to hang out with them. 😊
This is the best advent calendar ever. How on earth is this 300$?? It’s worth upwards of 1000$ easily!! 😮😮 I may just order one for my own collection that’s insane!! 🎁
I thought the same, no way she only paid $300!
My local crystal shop wouldve charged over $3,000 for all this!? Insane!
The Labroradite was utterly STUNNING! I was so impressed by the amount of rocks you got for $300. I didn't expect you to get so much. Those tiny hearts, and tiny mushrooms were so beautiful and the soft stone flower was adorable too. Merry Christmas to you both. God bless you both.
Near the beginning you mentioned that you would normally open this one day at a time and I reckon for next year (or next time you get this kinda grab bag) it might be a good idea to do that.
It'll mean more editing of course, but daily uploads like that can help your channel. Plus it means you can spend more time showing off and talking about each of the things you get! :D
Also adore seeing your and your husband banter off each other, you seem like a very happy couple :)
Yes 💯 I think it would be a bit more exciting to have to wait for each day. This had A LOT to take in. I think I'd enjoy it split up daily more.
"is it a sphere?"
"i can't tell you without my protractor"
this fuckin sent me lmao
Definitely an Engineer. :D
Wow. Each day is such an incredible amount. The customized preferences, the thoughtfulness. This was really impressive! Great seller! This would be a dream come true! What a wonderful company.
Honestly the best advent calendar I have ever seen and gods there’s been so many- I hope you enjoy your mushroom army!
🍄🍄🍄
@@moonriserocksmushy!
I think the mushroom at 2:17 is the Ocean Jasper. I use the center core of the Scotch tape, when empty, for sphere stands. You can cover them with ribbon, washi tape, or paint. Great box! ❤
Oh wow! Thank you SO much for that tip about the tape rolls. I'm doing that!
This is so cool!!! Also I'd love to mention because it's by far one of my favorite rocks, selenite and satin spar are kind of the same but also not at all, it's be like calling a grape agate moss agate. They're all forms of gypsum crystallized but in a different way! Selenite is completely clear like ice, satinspar has that chatoyancy or glimmer, some other fun forms incude desert roses which can be UV reactive!
24:45 😂😂😂😂 OMG. LOL. NO, HE DIDNT JUST SAY THAT 😂😂 "SHE CHOKED ON THIS MUSHROOM". THAT'S HILARIOUS 🤣🤣🤣
Labradorite is my absolute favourite gemstone!!! That little teardrop was perfection!!!!!
Ok. I can not possibly describe how much I love and laugh at the videos you do together. Yall make my day. I absolutely love your channel, and you got me into tumbling. Your my fav channel. Love you/yall so much! Thanks for the laughs and excitement!
This comment just made my day 🥹 Thank you so much! ❤
Prettiest crystal collection ever! Worth the money! I was fascinated by the colours & shapes. I really loved the butterfly & the frog 🐸 🦋 🍄✨
this is def an awesome set. after the "guess if its real" sets, this is a treat.
Brecciated means that it broke up and was sort of cemented back together as the rock was forming. That's why it literally looks like a bunch of broken pieces of different stuff. It is.
This was incredible. Living in a place where rocks and minerals are everywhere and expensive, this made me so happy to see you get this for 300. That's a steal for all of those!
I'm a sea glass hunter at heart but this video has me seriously thinking about this box. Beautiful haul for the money. Merry Christmas to you both. 🎄🎄🎄🎄
So worth the price $
Each piece was amazing! I think the 2 skull stones were my favorites. And it was really fun to see your team work opening them. Thankyou for sharing 💚Merry Christmas to you both 🎄
Tea light holders make great sphere stands.
Great idea. I use cheap rings.
That’s a great idea! I have a bunch that would look nice in my crystal case too
uhmmm i have never seen a crystal grouping so amazing in my life.... this is definitely going on my wish list
This seller is INCREDIBLE -- in every single way -- WOW
I just found your channela nd im already LOVING this. i dont know much about tumbling, crystals, gems or rocks.. but its so nice to watch! What i also love after watching 3 videos of yours, is that your husband is in this! this is SOOOO fun! you both make it so nice to watch.
I hope you two have a good Christmas! Blessings from Germany you two! have a nice time with family and rocks!!
Thank you so much!! Such a nice comment. Boosting my hubby’s already inflated ego too 😂 I hope you had a lovely holiday as well!
I appreciate how the color of the properties matches the color of the stones so you can identify them correctly.
I love that we're all going with "mushroom" without question, and no one is saying anything.
From someone who packs fragile items to ship.... the $40 shipping charge was not NEARLY enough. I am not familiar with rock values but the amount of time & material involved in PACKING these things is insane. Absolutely crazy. People don't realize how quickly a roll of tape can be used when packing... I love this.
All the mushrooms!
I watched this with my kids (9 and 7 yrs old). They lost their minds. Now I feel like I need to keep an eye out for an advent calendar, like this, that the family can open together and turn into some kind of a scene or rock garden (depending on what actually shows up). Very cool! Thanks for including your husband and sharing your experience.
Also, we voted the large ball, the Blue Rose Quartz, and the smaller one, the Agate.
Wow, that was the best Advent Calendar of any I've seen, and I've seen a lot! She did an excellent job.
Happy New Year!🎉
20:41 "these are the flowers she wants, rocks!" Same girl, same.
"I'm gonna have a whole army of mushrooms... I love that for me..." 😂 Sub earned. Great video!!
I can't believe the box was only $300! Blows my mind!!!! I'm definitely going to look at their shop! Wow!
I'm so glad she made this video so that i can get the satisfaction of opening a whole bunch of packages without hurting my wallet!!
Holy moley! That’s beautiful and amazing!!!! So worth the $300/$400! That’s like legit over $1,000 from some shops! Nice buy!
That is absolutely beyond anyone could hope for! I could see some of the tiny ones being little "bonus" stones, but all of those large pieces with fantastic coloration and the carved stones is incredible. What gorgeous crystals!
I love that your crystals that are probably millions of years old arrived in a perishable item box.
I made my own Crystal advent calendar this year! An awesome seller wrapped them individually for me and a friend put them in the box
I didn't expect there to be so much stuff, this was totally worth it 100%- btw your husband's energy is unmatched xD You both are totally best friendsss
I suggest candlestick holders as sphere bases!!!❤❤❤
Maybe next year, film you doing it day by day and edit together the video to release on the last day. i think that might be fun to get daily reaction clips
I’m debating trying that but it would definitely be a lot more work setting up everything each time. Last year I did 3-4 days at a time for a calendar I opened on TikTok so maybe I could do something like that!
yeah, that makes sense. wasnt sure if you could leave the camera set up but def might need it for other things XD either way its def an enjoyable video! I'm one of the like 5 people on the planet who doesnt use tiktok but I do watch the shorts on here :3
@@moonriserocks
I am screaming crying foaming at the mouth over that froggy. it's so CUTE I want 50 of them!!!!
So cute and loving the vibes. Careful Celestine it is softer than fluorite despite being very heavy
So many of these are activating my 'I want to eat it' response. 😆
$300 for an advent calendar is a lot of money but out of all of the advent calendar unwrappings that I've seen this one is 💯 times worth it's value!! This is worth more than the Swarovski Advent Calendar that sells for around $2500 or more!
You really lucked out with this calendar!!!
The frog 🐸 is my favourite!!
On the blue rose quartz agate day, I think the size of the papers tell you which is which. Just a guess, but that seems logical to me. Everything is just so beautiful and it's definitely worth the money you spent. So much value! 😍😍😍
Sarah actually ROCKED it ! I know NOTHING about this subject but I know what I like beauty wise ! The value of getting 3-7 plus each day is overwhelming! This video was so much fun ! Value was multi-level: dollar, beauty, fun with hubby, guessing game, filling her wish list, etc. ❤ towers are obelisks ??? And I learned alot, Thanks 😊 ! 28:38 Amafagate ? Really ? LOL
I would absolutely pay $300 for all of this and I don't even know much about rocks and crystals. These are just so pretty.
Perfect couples don’t exi--💖💖
Being called polychrome jasper is an absolute amazing complement in my opinion! Stunning! ❤
Omg I can’t get over what an amazingly beautiful collection of crystals!!!!!! I will be checking out their website too. Thank you to you and your hubby for making this such a fun video!!!! You guys rock
It was more than worth it. Now I want one. Lol
WOW!!!!! I thought there would be 24 crystals! This is incredible!! All sooooooo beautiful!
That was easily like a $1000 worth of items. 🤯 100% gonna buy a mystery box when they restock.
Woahhhh so cool
The skull butterfly looks amazing !!
I am not even into rocks. But I am really enjoying this. I am impressed with all the different shapes.
This advent calendar is definitely worth every penny spent! I am so jealous!
I absolutely love this haul!!!!! I would love this kind of variety in my collection. This is a beautiful collection!!!!
You and your husband are so darn hilarious!!! I don't usually care to watch videos of people opening their packages, but you had me at the word CRYSTAL. So glad I stayed. I'm still listening and laughing as I type this 😂
P.S. The crystals are AMAZING! $300 very well spent. You definitely received more than your monies worth.
My favorite thing is the brain. That's so bizarre and wonderful. Skull butterfly is a close second. I'm going to have to order something from this seller for sure.
Coming from the owner of a crystal shop.. this a great value box! Good job AutumnEclipe 👍
I’m not into rocks but oh my god kambaba jasper sphere at the end is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
I find it funny (In a sad way) that small businesses on etsy are putting way more work into these kinda of things and giving SO MUCH more that they charge while big businesses like swarovski charge twice as much but go super cheap on the final product. I've lost count of how many big name calendars I watched on here that turned out to be huge scams not worth the money paid for them. This is why I'm going to Etsy for Advent calendars for the rest of forever.
All I can imagine is making jewelry with Each piece. I'm drooling for the sparkly. Those are my favorite. Someone had a gigantic amethyst sparkly one that was probably about 3 feet tall all sparkly in the cut out center. I was shocked at the beauty. Captivated.
It was so worth it. Great job Sarah, you rock. ❤
Although I took geology a long time ago, I know nothing about rocks and do bring home pieces I find in my walks. I like how well each one was packed and the labels. Seems like the seller listened to your preferences and cares about her customers. Only you can decide if it's worth it but your delighted reaction says it all.

Just looked it up;
Selenite and Satin Spar is the same mineral (gypsum), the different is in how it is deposited.
Selenite is specific chrystaline deposit, and Satin spar is a fibrous deposit.
So, same chemistry but different "build method".
Oh my god that little frog……. Eeek I need one…. He’s adorable 🥰
This is amazing so many colors and shapes
Absolutely LOVED this video!!¡! Did you let this seller know you were doing a review? Incredible selection for $300. Theres NO WAY they made anything on this!! ❤
If this box was still available, I'd get it right now. You got $300+ in spheres alone!
I feel like this is worth twice what you paid. What a delightful shop. They clearly put so much care and thought into each day.
This video has just been a joy all the way through.
That “calendar” is absolutely AMAZING!!!!
I am 100% peanut butter and *JELLY!!* 😱❤️
absolutely love your channel still!!! Happy holidays!!!! This looked so so so good and fun to open! I love this box, love the surprises!!! With everything going on in the world, I just really love this channel, I can't tell you that enough, like I got covid for Christmas lmao, but at least I can giggle along with you :D also your husband is an absolute delight in this video, I had such a great time here
Nooo not covid for Christmas! I’m so sorry about that and hope you’re on the mend now ❤️ Thanks so much for the sweet comment. I’ll pass on the message to hubby!
The red and green swirly tower is money Jasper. The druzy one is moss agate/carnelian in day 19.
This is hands down one of my fav. advent calendars yet that I have watched! I would absolutely LOVE to have this and it was totally worth it in my opinion.
Gotta love how I recognized fluorite right away because I have a fluorite necklace dangling from the shelf right above my monitor.
Man, I would fangirl over such calendar for months, my crystal brain was tingling throughout the entire video.
There were supposed to be two showstoppers in the box, but that box had quite a few showstoppers. I'm so happy for you. 😊😊😊😊
I love number 9 they are beautiful everything is gorgeous at this point I also love the brain the bumblebee Jasper is gorgeous
That frog omg!!
I NEED this! Also i love you and your husband together. You guys have great funny chemistry!
I’m sure someone has already said this but for day 21 the large sphere is in fact blue rose quartz and is beautiful, also i thoroughly enjoyed this video
You and I definitely have the same tastes in crystals. I loved all of those.
You two are adorable.
Absolutely stunning. This seems like a $600 box/calendar.
Stain spar and selenite are the same mineral but crystalized differently, desert rose and gypsum are also all the same material in different forms. The bigger sphere was the blue rose quartz, classified that way because it and regular rose quartz have the same qualities of light dispersion though I cant recall which mineral made it blue instead of pink!
Well worth the buy. Great find and great seller.
This was so much fun to watch! I can only imagine how much fun it was to open!
I am so amazed by your haul! I am only sorry that I I’ve just found this video on Jan 20! 😂 I would have certainly bought one of these! Fun! ❤
Actually looks like a good way to start a collection. 😂 I wonder if they’ll make one for me even though Christmas is over
awesome box and so so worth the price for sure, no expert but I love shiny things and mushrooms too ;-)
I wish I had this advent calendar! I love rocks!!! 🪨
I hadn't been very interested in rocks and crystals before but I watched a few of your videos and my interest has grown significantly since! Your videos are very enjoyable to watch, educational and also fun 😊
