The red wine color of this Mookaite gemstone is just yummy! Ring is marked as 925 Sterling, though it COULD be plated since some countries don't designate the difference. I love the slanted shank design as well, fitting approximately a 8.25 size fingers. For those who follow the spiritual or healing quality of stones, "Mookaite is believed to be is a nurturing stone that supports and sustains us during times of stress. It brings peace and a feeling of wholeness. Mookaite helps us with decision making, especially when we are having a difficult time. It encourages versatility and helps us to accept change. Mookaite provides us with emotional growth." No wonder I love this stone!!! LOL Reviewing the pictures and asking questions ahead is the best way to be aware of any additional details before purchasing. All sales final. Thank you for shopping my closet. 😊
