The amethyst stone was larger and set nicely, however it was rather dull. Not sure if it was the cut that made it not sparkly, or the quality of the stone. I did see inclusions (black marks) that were visible to the naked eye. This piece was NOT eye clean. My main problem, however was the shipping. The company "Lasership" (which I was told by a friend is Amazon's own company) had marked this package as "delivered on front porch" at 8pm on the day it was supposed to be delivered (It was an amazon prime item, so it was guaranteed to be delivered on the 2nd day), however, the item was NOT delivered! I called Lasership and they said that there was computer problems and all packages were marked as delivered, however I think this was a coverup b/c they knew it was supposed to have been delivered on the 2nd  day, and they did NOT do so and did not want to have "broken" the amazon prime shipping promise.
