Kind of cool
When I first opened the package I thought there was a mistake because the stonereally didn't look like the images online. It was interesting but reminded me of a cross between a lump of coal and a chunk of lava rock. After comparing my necklace to the photos and playing around with the lighting a bit I realized that the photos showed a stone that was back-lit by a strong light to show that it wasn't comletely opaque the way coal, pumice or onyx would be. So it did look like the photo but only when back-lit. Since I'm not running around with a small LED taped to my shirt for the stone to rest on that isn't really a practical comparison. It's still an interesting piece visually and I really appreciate that the pendant involved inserting a pin into the stone insteading of just gluing on the setting. I like it. Don't love it, but it might grow on me.
