The description indicated that turquoise stones were in this bracelet.  The big stone in the middle is not turquoise or any stone that I've ever seen.  It looks to me like a piece of wood carved into a block and then painted.  The other beads look nice, but I really question all of the turquoise pieces.  It was too much money to pay for something like this.  I've never had a problem with anything that Amazon listed before this piece.  I would never recommend it to anyone.
