Hi!
As I continue to search for a colored stone and attempt to educate myself I have a question for our experts. I have decided to only purchase a loose stone (if I do a loose stone instead of a vintage piece) from a stateside seller given looming tariffs and general anxiety about insta/overseas purchases. I found a stone whose color I like (searching for a saturated cornflower ceylon unheated) at Africa Gems. The odd part is that it is an oval and the center is very obviously not close to center. Is that a big no? I'm attaching the link because I'm no where near purchasing so not afraid of lurkers.

Thanks in advance!
