Both stones are natural and untreated, showing their light yellow color without any heat treatment. The pair is selected for color consistency, dimensional match, and symmetric cutting — the criteria that matter when left-right balance determines the finished piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 2px solid #5b2c6f;
