Excellent artist quality soft pastels New in box , never opened/never used Lightfast Set of 30 These are soft chalk like pastels NOT oil pastels The outer box is a little torn (received it that way from Amazon) The inner box has literally never been opened or used. All pastels are whole and not broken but due to the delicate nature of these art supplies, it is possible that they might break or crack after it has left my possession and is on its way to you. This sometimes happens due to rough handling by the courier. In the event that this happens , it does not in any way effect the usability of these pastels. Please understand this before ordering, as I can not control what happens during shipping and can't accept returns if pastels are broken enroute to you dear buyer..which can happen when ordering pastels from any seller. They are really awesome and literally never been used or opened Please ask all and any questions before ordering
