I bought this for my daughter as she was going thru a rough time. She has it inside by her front door so when she goes to work in the morning it's the last thing she sees before she leaves & helps her get thru a rough day. I must say her spirits are definitely higher than b/4 i bought it. The stone is nice and smooth, with a slightly green hue to it. I liked it so much I just bought another one for myself! It seems like a lot of money for a stone, but the engraving adds such a nice touch. Enjoy!
