"This Tourmalinated quartz is crystal clear except for the natural tourmalinated material inside. I purchased this stone to make a pendant and I am not disappointed. It is really worth the small amount of money."

"The stone I received is not pretty at all. Not even interesting to look at. It looked great on TV but there are lots of fracture like inclusions - one is close to the surface of the table. One of the black needles is very thick and also close to the surface - looks like a black magic marker line and you want to try and scratch it off. It's a very large stone, mine weighed in at 6.16 ct. But really, for the money it's not worth it to me. If the fracture inclusions weren't so visible, I'd give it a second thought but it's going back. Darn! I guess I'm just too picky. Maybe I'll try again next time free shipping comes around."
