Chrysoprase

	Stone : Chrysoprase Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2009 Item : #170 Design : Emerald Step Cut Origin : Marlborough, Queensland, Australia Treatments : None Weight : 4.35 carats Clarity : Eye Clean, Translucent Size : 11 x 9 x 6 mm Price : $360 AUD Comments : The chrysoprase that comes from Marlborough is considered to be some of the best in the world. The green is about as apple as you can get and is unlike any other stone. It is wonderfully translucent and glows with a soft inner light. Generally you only see this sort of material cabbed which is a shame because when it is facetted properly its entire personality changes and becomes truely something unique.
