Presents well (photo). Seller disclosure is honest - not true Turquoise gemstone, a close poseur
The Seller is 100% honest, the stone used in this bolo piece is a "blue stone" and is NOT natural gemstone A mined Turquoise gemstone would be impossible at this price. The piece presents well with a stone-like heft similar to natural Turquoise. . The inverted teardrop shaped stone dimensions are 1.1"w x 1.9"h, a generously sized stone, and presents well. The metal-tipped woven-leather bolo lanyard is about 40" long. See photo.The following summary information is provided for buyer consideration and knowledge.A buyer CANNOT reasonably expect an authentic Turquoise gemstone piece for this price.The stone is likely dyed mineral "Howlite" which make up some ~90% of the "Turquoise" sold on the low priced jewelry market. Of course we didn't do any destructive chip testing to see if it is surface-dyed howlite (under surface color would be white/other color inside). Beyond Howlite, imitation non-mineral Turquoise can be made of plastics, ceramics, and glass, and can appear quite authentic.Detailed appearance notes - Upon close inspection, the piece we received has typical asymmetric veining, and under bright sunlight, some very tiny flecks of white mineral that could also be typical of some specimens of natural Turquoise gemstones. The stone even had what appears to be a tiny random node of copper embedded in it which again, could again, readily be present with some specimens and forms of natural Turquoise gemstone.

Looks Great for the Cost
I bought this tie for my dad because he has been wanting a turquoise bolo tie but the legitimate ones go for about $200. I did some research and after reading the reviews for this one it seemed like a good one to try. It looks great and my dad loves it but the only thing that he dislikes is that the straps are skinny and if it stays folded the straps will stay bent and it will take a long time for them to straighten out.

Great gift for brother
I bought this for my younger brother who loves bolo ties, and he loves this one. The stone is a little bigger than we anticipated, but it still looks good.

Great Price!
We needed something fairly quick, and found this site using my phone. I think that they both (I got 2) came within a week!
