You will receive AAA Chrysoprase Faceted Pear Briolettes 10x12-13.5mm 9 Beads-- half of 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 noticeable inclusions. In the photos the color looks a little more bluish than they are-- expect a lovely apple green shade. The finely cut faceted pear briolettes range in size from about 9.5-10mm wide by 12-13.5mm long. These stones will make nice focal beads, but are also light enough for earrings. You will receive 9 loose beads weighing in at approximately 39.5 net carats. There is cheaper material out there, but it will likely be more chalky and opaque and the color not so pure. |
