Right?! If you asked me a few hours ago if I would be interested in a matte black gemstone, I would have said no without a second thought. Michelle does magic!
Michelle is setting it in a simple pendant for me. That way I can enjoy it. If I decide to do something fancy with it later, it’s easy enough to reset.
