Review (5/5): Good value, $12 for rose quartz massage roller and gua sha. Attractive, quality stones, design.
The attractive presentation elevates this as a worthwhile gifting option. The quality of the massage roller and gua sha is evident in the appearance and feel of the stones.
The massage roller has the customary large and smaller stone rollers. Composed of pale pink rose quartz, these rollers are nicely polished with smooth, shiny surfaces. They are impeccable, with no apparent defects, scratches or nicks. They contain the necessary plastic grommets where the metal arms/axles enter the roller ends. (see attache photo of close up of the roller end, showing the plastic grommet, in place) These protect the stones and the metal arms from abrasive interaction that would erode and adversely affect their respective surfaces. It also acts as a bearing, affording smooth rolling action. Also, along with smooth rolling action, these grommets effectively silence the tools when in motion; Without these plastic grommets, squeaking noises would be noticeable.
The rose quartz gua sha follows the conventional heart shape. It has a nice thickness, and mirrors the quality of the rose quartz on the massage roller. It's also well polished, affording a shiny and smooth surface. The edges are rounded, providing a comfortable fit in the hand. Close inspection of the gua sha revealed no defects or flaws, no scratches or nicks.
At $12, this is an excellent value/bargain. For the excellent quality of design, materials and manufacture, this would be a very good value for just the massage roller, with the gua sha being a bonus addition. I would guess that comparable quality sets would sell in the $16 - $22 range.
Based on the quality of design, materials and construction, coupled with the excellent value/bargain, this product offering earns a 4.75 - 5 star rating, with a very high level recommendation.
