"When the specimen arrived, I took it straight over to the window. The quality of the crystalline structure was awesome! Colors of light , medium, and deep blue - bordering on tanzanite shades! And it was lightly dusted with tiny calcite and hematite crystals. Though it was small [perhaps they could give us minimum dimensions?], it was so beautiful, that I hardly wanted to put it back into its well-padded drawer. Looking forward to more lovely Specimen Shows!"

"Had planned to give this as a wedding gift to use as a paperweight, conversation piece, etc. Was very disappointed in the size. It looked much larger during the debut presentation on television. Was hardly larger than pendant size."
