"PHOTO DOES NOT REPRESENT GEMSTONE"S BEAUTY!!!! I saw this gemstone for the first time on Cheryl's show (she's my fav & when she's with Valerie..it's like letting loose Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers in "Monkey Trouble") Anyway, Cheryl showed this amazing, soft green colored stone that sparkled like crazy, but when I got online, the photo's were horrible! I bought 2 of these and mine weighed out to be .45 and .61....not bad for the price. I now want a big one to put in the middle, or use these on the sides of Peridot(when you put them next to deep greens like Chrome Dio. they look more yellowish), or on each side of Petilite/Goeshinite/White Zircon, because then they really show off their sparkle. Hope you try this gemstone out...Thanks for reading and good luck"
