Revainrating 5 out of 5

Presents itself well (photo). The disclosure of information by the seller is honestly not true.

The seller is 100% honest, the stone used in this bolo item is a "blue stone" NOT a natural gemstone. Mining turquoise gemstones would be impossible at this price. The product goes well with the stone mass, similar to natural turquoise. . The inverted teardrop shaped stone measures 1.1 inches (width) x 1.9 inches (height), the stone is large and well presented. Braided leather bolo strap with metal tip is approximately 40 inches long. See photo. The following summary information is provided to the buyer for review and examination. A real turquoise gemstone cannot reasonably be expected by a buyer at this price. The stone is probably a colored mineral. "Howlite" which accounts for about 90% of the "turquoise" sold in the inexpensive jewelry market. Of course, we didn't do any destructive testing of the chips to determine if they were top-dyed howlite (underside color would be white/white). different color inside). In addition to howlite, imitation non-mineral turquoise can be made from plastic, ceramic, and glass and can look fairly authentic. Sunlight, a few very tiny white mineral flecks which may also be typical of some natural turquoise gemstone specimens. The stone even had something embedded in it like a tiny random copper knot that again, again, again could be present with some patterns and shapes of the natural gemstone turquoise.

Pros
  • Bolo tie size: 58 x 47 mm (2.34 x 1.95 inch). Made from natural Tiger Eye stone, it will come in a variety of colors and shapes.
Cons
  • Too long to wait
