You will receive AAA Chrysoprase Micro Faceted Rondelle 4-5mm 15.5" Beads-- the exact strand of fine Chrysoprase Beads that you see in the photos.
Chrysoprase is the most valuable member of the Chalcedony family, but unlike most Chalcedony on the market today the color of genuine Chrysoprase is totally natural. The coloring comes from nickel.
These stones with their beautiful translucent green-- the color of abundant spring, have a transcendent quality. The stones are very clean with only a tiny speck of matrix here and there and no visible inclusions. The finely cut micro-faceted rondelles range in size from about 4-5mm in diameter. The strand measures about 15.5" and weighs about 71 net carats.
These are more beautiful in real life, with the light dancing off of the facets and glow from within. The color photographs a little more blue than they are in reality. I tried to correct the color in the first photo, to give a better idea of the color which is a little closer to apple green. The rest of the photos are not altered.
There is cheaper material out there, but it will likely be more chalky and opaque and the color not so pure.
