"This stone is a very good value. The color is gorgeous...the only problem is a few tiny nicks on the bottom of the stone. Am thinking whether to return it or keep it...VERY hard decision! Am leaning toward keeping it since it's such a gorgeous piece...and the nicks don't affect the look of the stone. Decisons....Decisions!!! Am pretty sure the nicks could be buffed out easily."
