Great pendant. So glad I bought both, they do have a curious 'inverse' going on, not just the same.

Great pendant. So glad I bought both, they do have a curious 'inverse' going on, not just the same.
Like everything else, better than pictures, looks natural but with eye-catching color.
This was the first thing I unwrapped, I could not believe it. I probably can't even show this to anyone without them wanting it personally. This isn't a pocket gem, it's huge.
Thank you so much, I was so pleased with everything. these are especially nice proportions, great appeal.
Here's where I laughed out loud--bring back agate!! I love agate, what an underappreciated stone nowadays--like everything else it has to be well made, then it can speak for itself, very appealing.
Hope to get more of these soon.
