It is a beautiful stone and I used to mistake it for turquoise! There are so many beautiful gems found in the Caribbean and South America, most with very limited veins.
How fortunate to have found this all those years ago, gemstones have certainly gone up in price over time.
Thank you for all the valuable information on these stones. It is indeed helpful for anyone looking at this gorgeous stone. I love the setting on this also!
Have a great day!
