I ordered five different stones (see photo) - I will only be keeping two, this Carnelian and the Piezo Orgonite Hex Bullet Chakra Pendant. I just love carnelian and the carnelian I received is just like the photo. I like the wire wrapping on it too - much better than having a bead cap or just a pin stuck in the top with a loop.
All of them did come with a silver chain and a black cord, as advertised. While I do prefer stones like this on a cord of some type, I will not be using the one it came with. It's very sloppily made (like where the end of the cord is put in the ring, the cord sticks out the other end) and looks like it could break easily too.
