You will receive AAA Chrysoprase Faceted Heart Briolette 11-12mm 6 Beads-- six loose beads from the same strand 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. The finely cut faceted heart briolette is about 16x18mm (tall by wide). This generous focal bead weighs 19 carats. There is cheaper material out there, but it will likely be more chalky and opaque and the color not so pure. |
