Item Description
A wonderfully rich specimen of Chrysoprase from the Yerilla Chrysoprase Mine in Australia featuring a glowing apple green hue. The piece shows fantastic color when backlit and excellent consistency of color throughout with no cracks or crazing. Chrysoprase is defined as a variety of Chalcedony, which is already a variety of Quartz, and according to mindat.org, the color is caused by, "tiny inclusions of Ni-bearing layer silicates (willemseite, népouite or others)". Specimens from the Yerilla Mine are rarely seen on the market today. Specimen weight is 15.7 grams. From the collection of Shields Flynn.
