- I've already opened up some pretty crappy cheap crystal advent calendars... but what about an EXPENSIVE one? Does a higher price tag really equal better quality? Today we're going to find out!

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 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 $300!
I watched this and probably started crying 2 minutes in. Hi, Im the owner of AutumnEclipse! Im SO excited you filmed this and hearing "Im so Happy" just made my entire year.
Thank you so, so much! Im so happy you enioyed all of these! ❤❤❤
You did so good!!
This was the best curated collection I've seen recently, well done!!
When do you start to sell advents? I’ll keep an eye out for next year.
I'll be visiting your shop for sure (once I get paid 😂)! I'm new to the rocks/crystal collections but these are so pretty!
Thank you for your commitment to making things for people to love! You did an amazing job!
That mini labradorite teardrop had me gasping 😮
Definitely needs to be made into a necklace!
Me too! My jaw dropped, it's so gorgeous
The chatoyancy was stunning ❤
It’s a death head moth that looks like a butterfly which is super cool! You scored on this box ! I’m so jealous!
300$ for all these stones? That's such a good price! :O They're beautiful! Great variety in both shapes, crystal types and colors
Those mushrooms really needed a frog to hang out with them. 😊
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.
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.
Your grape agate mushroom looks like that because it's a polished shape, natural grape agate is bubbly and looks like grapes naturally without being shaped or polished
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.
Honestly the best advent calendar I have ever seen and gods there’s been so many- I hope you enjoy your mushroom army!
🍄🍄🍄
@@moonriserocksmushy!
My local crystal shop wouldve charged over $3,000 for all this!? Insane!
Me to gurl me to 😂😢
This is the best advent calendar ever. How on earth is this 300$?? 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!
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!
When I first saw the video, I thought $300, what a rip off. It's only up to day 5, and it's already scraping what I would consider worth $300. She could get so much more for this, and has put so much effort into the choices, and the craziest part of all is that she didn't even know this was going to be reviewed and did it just assuming it was another mineral collector.
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.
WOW!!! What a deal. You made out like a bandit. The variety, type, shape, are amazing. I'm not a rock hound, but I would definitely buy this. SOOOOO cool.
Prettiest crystal collection ever! Worth the money! I was fascinated by the colours & shapes. I really loved the butterfly & the frog 🐸 🦋 🍄✨
Labradorite is my absolute favourite gemstone!!! That little teardrop was perfection!!!!!
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!
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! ❤
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
$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!!
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!
That “calendar” is absolutely AMAZING!!!!
I am 100% peanut butter and *JELLY!!* 😱❤️
this is def an awesome set. after the "guess if its real" sets, this is a treat.
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 can't believe the box was only $300! Blows my mind!!!! I'm definitely going to look at their shop! Wow!
uhmmm i have never seen a crystal grouping so amazing in my life.... this is definitely going on my wish list
"is it a sphere?"
"i can't tell you without my protractor"
this fuckin sent me lmao
Definitely an Engineer. :D
I love that we're all going with "mushroom" without question, and no one is saying anything.
Husband wanted to say something on that calligraphy tower…
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. 🎄🎄🎄🎄
I am screaming crying foaming at the mouth over that froggy. it's so CUTE I want 50 of them!!!!
This seller is INCREDIBLE -- in every single way -- WOW
Holy moley! That’s beautiful and amazing!!!! So worth the $300/$400! That’s like legit over $1,000 from some shops! Nice buy!
Defenately worth it !!! Great collection, Sarah, who selected them for you did such a fantastic job! All best wishes... also for John with building new shelfes...
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 🎄
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!!
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!
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
I use all kinds of little tea light holders for my speres and paper weights. There's no end to the shape and colors they come in.
"I'm gonna have a whole army of mushrooms... I love that for me..." 😂 Sub earned. Great video!!
All the mushrooms!
24:45 😂😂😂😂 OMG. LOL. NO, HE DIDNT JUST SAY THAT 😂😂 "SHE CHOKED ON THIS MUSHROOM". THAT'S HILARIOUS 🤣🤣🤣
You guys need a podcast. Listening to you talk is so soothing. You just sound like friends, Idk how to describe it. Love this video so much.
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!🎉
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.
31:55
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".
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.
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.
Never watched you before. Wasn’t necessarily looking for a rock video. Lol. But you two together made me smile and laugh so much. You guys are so cute.
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! 😍😍😍
This is the absolute BEST advent calendar, and the best 42 minutes spent of my whole day, maybe week! That was 100% beyond $300 worth of crystals! Off to Etsy!! 🏃♀️💨
So many of these are activating my 'I want to eat it' response. 😆
WOW!!!!! I thought there would be 24 crystals! This is incredible!! All sooooooo beautiful!
I have to say I enjoyed so much watching this video. It was so much fun! I love all of your beautiful pieces that you got in this box ❤️ your husband is hilarious 😂
let me say, i was watching this while working from home... as soon as ur husband came on, i had to stop. His comments are the best. haha "im not long for this world" LMAO I hope hes in every video :) thanks!!!!!!!!!
It is definitely worth the money. I loved these. To me, this really IS a gift. The stones are so unique, beautiful and the quality is amazing
I will definitely be buying from this company. I love your videos. I have loved shells and rocks since I was a kid. You are my favorite go to videos. Keep them coming.
I love how there were like little themed days! Like the heart day was so cute
Coming from the owner of a crystal shop.. this a great value box! Good job AutumnEclipe 👍
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.
This was absolutely the best Advent calendar ever! Not only did you get multiple crystals per day but they were amazing quality. Not one dud. I would venture a guess that you got over double what you paid. And if she still has anything like this after Christmas I am definitely getting myself one.❤
I loooooove that butterfly with the shull in the middle 😍
that’s an incredible collection! Really nice, unique pieces. Love that they ran with your requests! I’ll definitely check out their store
Being called polychrome jasper is an absolute amazing complement in my opinion! Stunning! ❤
I suggest candlestick holders as sphere bases!!!❤❤❤
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, this was an AMAZING christmas calendar. Thank you so much for doing this! Also, your voice is lovely and so pleasant to listen to!
I absolutely loved when the husband started opening stuff. he seems so fun!
That was easily like a $1000 worth of items. 🤯 100% gonna buy a mystery box when they restock.
I love that your crystals that are probably millions of years old arrived in a perishable item box.
Although you are not the store, you have kind of sold this to me. Love your enthusiasm! What a gorgeous set.

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
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.
These are all so wonderful def worth the 💰...for sure!! I wasnt expecting that ❤❤
That's crazy!! She went broke on that calendar, she lost money but it was your gain! fabulous amount of cute
You really know how to entertain! I loved the whole video from start to finish. ❤
It was fun watching this. Not a crystal person, but this could cause it to happen. I wear a lot of jewelry with crystals and stones. No two pieces are the same.
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.
20:41 "these are the flowers she wants, rocks!" Same girl, same.
Definitely worth the value!!!!!! Satin Spar and Selenite are the same with both variety of Gypsum. SS is more silky while Selenite is more transparent.
You hit the mother lode! What a wonderful collection…super fantastic & totally worth the money!
This video has just been a joy all the way through.
I am not even into rocks. But I am really enjoying this. I am impressed with all the different shapes.
I absolutely love this haul!!!!! I would love this kind of variety in my collection. This is a beautiful collection!!!!
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
Absolutely spectacular! Way worth it.
This advent calendar is definitely worth every penny spent! I am so jealous!
So cute and loving the vibes. Careful Celestine it is softer than fluorite despite being very heavy
#3 mushroom has tiny mushrooms in the orange part! That is so special🍄
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!! ❤
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
I've been watching Advent calendar's. And so this popped up. And by far, this is my absolute favorite 100%. I'm only 14 min in and so jealous, especially the labrodorite butterfly skull. Fighting multiform invasive lobular cancer. I need to find one to buy. My Dad was a Geologist. And this is Amazing!
“This is like an ogre! It’s got layers” …..thanks for the Shrek reference, love it
I appreciate how the color of the properties matches the color of the stones so you can identify them correctly.
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.
You make me want to head right to Mountain Gems store! I need some more jasper pieces for my cactus pot!
Beautiful collection!
