    THIS STONE WOULD MAKE A RAVISHING RING OR PENDANT AND IS A VERY RARE COLLECTORS STONE AND WOULD ALSO MAKE A SOUND INVESTMENT PIECE.  CAUTION, AS THESE STONES ARE VERY SOFT THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO CUT INTO A FINE FACETED STONE, ALSO IF MADE INTO A RING ONE MUST BE VERY VERY CAREFUL DUE T0 THE SOFTNESS OF THIS MATERIAL.  THIS STONE HAS NEARLY THE SAME REFRACTIVE INDEX AS DIAMOND AND ABOUT 5 TIMES THE DISPERSION, THERFORE, IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL STONE FOR JEWELRY, IDEAL FOR PENDANTS.  THE SOLE SOURCE OF THIS STONE IN SPAIN HAS RECENTLY BEEN SHUT DOWN AS IT IS IN A NATURE PRESERVE SO AS TIME GOES ON SUPPLY WILL DEMINISH AND PRICES WILL GO UP SO THINK ABOUT GETTING ONE WHILE THEY ARE STILL AFFORDABLE.

    Due to unfair feedback we have been forced to review and rethink our feedback policy for buyers.
    We believe that the feedback forum should be used to rate the entire purchasing experience and on the product as it is listed and worded not how the item is assumed to be.

    Communication is essential to problem resolution and based on our commitment to our customers believe that we would never deserve an unfavorable feedback.
    Henceforth we will give feedback based on the buyer’s entire purchasing experience and responsibilities.
    Any misuse or abuse of the purchasing or feedback forums will affect the quality of feedback given in return and possibly result in the suspension of buying privileges from our store.
    While we regret being forced to take this action recent actions have forced us to so, so that we may continue to serve you in the manner in which you are accustom.
