The amethyst bracelet I received looks exactly as pictured.  A nice mix of light and dark stones.  It arrived early and well packaged.  I am happy with this purchase but I must note one thing:  My wrist measures just a tiny bit over 6 inches at the largest point and the bracelet is snug.  I do think over time it may stretch a little and be more comfortable.  Just note that out of the package it runs small  I am going to place it over one of my larger bracelets for a few days and see if it adjusts itself and becomes more comfortable.  Still very happy with it.  Nice!.
