    "I ordered 2 of these stones and 2 that were less expensive. Side by side, I could not tell them apart...Same color and even looped, they looked identical...so why spend the extra money??? I sent these more expensive ones back....even tho they were touted as "gem quality color" on the TV presentation....As I said, I just could not see ANY color saturation difference at all...."
