What are good ways to use spectrolite gemstones

I purchased another kyanite'the intense color saturation of this stone is incredible. The quality was as described and pictured in the photos. Always happy with my purchases!
I was pleased with the amount of information they offered along with the accuracy of such information. Navigating their website was effortless as well. Although, I wish they had a wider variety in a particular gemstone, I was satisfied overall.
If you want a gem that you can trust to not be treated, or if it is ita's disclosed this is the place! Therea's something for everybody. I really like knowing that the picture of the item is the one Ia'm buying, not a sample or stock photo. If you make jewelry, buy gems here! You can even buy a gem and have it set by a jeweler. Again, they have an amazing inventory, and prices are more than fair. You wona't be disappointed! I just wish they sold uncut gems. Sometimes I just want a specimen in the crystal form. Ia'm surprised they had no quartz from Arkansas, but they have a great selection of anything Ia've ever looked for.
