Thanks Tela That lapis NEEDS more inclusions because it photographs like its glowing and looks artificial. That shape is specifically for my prong style and it is going to a family member who doesn't know yet haha.

I mean, it's killer stuff, but the camera just loves that blue!!! Makes it even nicer.

Absolutely agree with that Lapis. Looks fabulous, but my favorite here is the Tiger Eye/Tigger.

Wow so beautiful and so hard to pick a single favorite. If I had to pick two favorites, they would be the ammey sage and the Royal Purple Aztec cause I like purple...Mel
