<p>[QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 4452298, member: 10012"]I like the main stone a lot. The rough back being the host rock with the turquoise being a thin seam that was cut and polished parallel to its strike. It looks as though it was ground and polished unevenly to follow its thinness. This, I believe, verifies that this stone is definitely NOT a counterfeit stone and that the piece is one of a kind. The use of gold for the setting indicates that the creator felt that it was worth the trouble. To me, it ups its value above a run-of-the-mill piece. I'm not impressed by the dangles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
