Thanks for posting the pics. I called them the other day when someone first posted about the "new" & "old". I am having them send me a sample of the "new". Just check with them on the veining. The girl on the phone told me that the "new" had less veining. Your samples show the opposite. I don't know if she told me the wrong thing or if your samples are not a good representation of the stones.
