I received this last Friday and the more I look at it the more I fall madly in LOVE with it! The Rose Quartz is just as vibrate as in the picture (keep in mind that it is photographed on a white background, so the the picture makes the pink POP a little more). What I was most surprised at was how beautiful the Variscite is! I'm not sure I'd ever seen the stone before, but it's beautiful and complements the rose quartz perfectly! The band has stretch but is firm so that it feel sturdy. I'll be adding more pieces soon!
