Chrysoprase is a beautiful chalcedony (quartz) ranging in color from apple-green to deep green. Chrysoprase is unlike any other stone in its unique workability and ravishing color. In these Australian parcels you get a variety of transparency some pieces have character markings such as little black dendrites.

Chrysoprase has a hardness of 6 - 7 meaning this material holds just the most amazing polish. With the supply of high quality material disappearing the pricing on this material has sky rocketed over the last couple years. At the 2008 Tucson Gem Show the price of Australian Chrysoprase rose to above 3 dollars per gram and will not likely come back down. The Parcels we have for sale were acquired ten years ago allowing us to pass on savings to you the customer.
