Hey there Bees,
Shopping for a stone is really hard work. The magnify view of the stones at JA are pretty intimidating especially if the scratches or dents will show up in real life.
I'm looking at three round stones from JA that look to be very similar yet I be concerned about the depth is too deep and not to mention about the angles. What are your thoughts and which one is a good buy? I'm also open to other stones.
Stone #1 is about $2750USD while stones #2 and #3 are about $3450.
