So often I purchased gemstones from various dealers, only to be disappointed that the product is nowhere near as beautiful as depicted in pictures.
Not so in this case. This is an incredibly beautiful stone. The turquoise blue really pops against the dark background. It goes well with the golden pietersite stones I bought from Intrinsic Trading and the bronzite faceted rondells used as spacers in a necklace I created with this unique stone.
I just placed an order for the 8mm size of these. Expensive, but worth it. Enough said.
