"The stone is a uniformly dark brownish-smoke color, but not so dark that it doesn't sparkle. The cut is a little off so it isn't exactly oval, but close enough. Now all I need is for JTV to sell a pendant casting large enough for it."

"This is one of my favorite stones, the color saturation is amazing and the stone is absolutly flawless, even under the loupe. This would be perfect in a pendant or it would make a big ol' blingin ring."
