"I was very let down by this gemstone. It's much smaller than you realize. Also the cut is really very rough. My husband thought it may even be damaged as the point is so rough it almost feels grated.
We are returning this item. We felt it was not even worth 1/2 of what we paid. We'll be glad to get our purchase price refunded and settle with losing the shipping costs. This gem just was so lacking.
Tsk tsk."
