The pink tourmaline wasn't as vibrant as the photo, but I was expecting that, it still has a nice pink color, just a little more muted than the photo. My other slight issue has to do with the description. It says the bead size is about 6mm, but i mostly got 3-4, not a big deal for my uses, but its really hard to estimate how many beads your getting based on the list in the description. For the price though, it's worth getting extra just in case.
