These are pocket size. You can carry them with you. The carrying bag is nice to have as well, but to just slide one or all into your pocket is pretty neat. I am a huge fan of gemstones and collect a lot of different sizes and shapes. When I seen this set I knew that it would be a great addition to my collection. They are attractive, smoothly polished and about the size of a nickel. A great gift suggestion as well for anyone who enjoys natural healing.
