Other notations concerning the pictures. View #1 shows a line that is runs across the stone and appears to be a break in the turquoise. This is not a breakage of the stone but a matrix line in the turquoise. View #2 shows the black background top appear uneven due to the extreme closeup used to photograph this pendant. When viewed by human eyes the black background is fairly consistent in shading.
