Chrysoprase Stone Beads | Smooth Oval | 14mm x 24mm

The chrysoprase stone, as one of the rarest and most valuable type of chalcedony, is renowned for its delicious green color, found in no other type of gemstone except one, gaspeite. These chrysoprase beads are the famous apple green color, ranging slightly in hue from light green to a brilliantly intense green. The reason that the green of chrysophrase (and gaspeite) is so rare is because unlike every other green stone, it comes from nickel. Make people turn green with envy when you debut this rare green chrysoprase in your next bracelet or necklace. The chrysoprase stone is an alternate birthstone for the month of May, competing with emerald. While both green gemstones have their good qualities, chrysoprase is by far the more versatile choice, and one more reminiscent of the spring greens that come to fruition during the month of May.   Item Details:These green chrysoprase beads are fashioned into smooth ovals featuring the famous green of chrysoprase and ripples of brown marbling.
