Here is a pendent, hot off the press

Apatite with Aquamarine button/plug
flat rear, dome front
plug on rear also, not showing here

measures 26x22x10mm

This highly fractured stuff is a nightmare to grind...lol
Pieces pop off constantly

If a rock moves when you try to whack it...run like the wind and don't look back!
