Aqua Chalcedony pendant a Sterling Silver triangular shield shape measuring 0.845 of an inch wide by 1.44 inches long.   The stone itself measures 20mm wide at the widest point by 29.5mm long.  The natural peridot is 4mm by 6mm.  The tube bail can accommodate a chain up to 3mm thick. The bluish green portions are the Aqua Chalcedony, the rest is quartz and the hint of brow is the matrix of the rock that the crystal grew upon.  Chromium and nickel cause the aqua coloring.    Aqua Chalcedony is not the same thing as Chrysoprase, which is yellowish green in color.  It is a newly found gemstone from Africa.  Aqua Chalcedony has been named Aquaprase by its Greek discoverer for the Greek words for blue and green.  The matrix is thought to enhance the beauty and emphasize that the aqua coloring is completely natural.  Peridot metaphysical properties naturally enhance it, so this Aquaprase pendant is a great addition to your Aquaprase jewelry collection.
