12105.0 - 8 mm Round Cut Cabochon Chrysoprase from Maryborough Queensland Australia Good Clean Quality From the Old Mine in the 1970's...

These 8 mm Round cut Chrysoprase are very clean.

These Gemstones are from the oldest commercial Chrysoprase mine in Australia; Maryborough in the State of Queensland.

Maryborough produced the best quality Chrysoprase from anywhere in Australia.

Chrysoprase used to be referred to as "Australian Jade", which is a misnomer.

Chrysoprase may have the somewhat appearance of Green Jade, but it is actually part of the Chalcedony family of Gemstones and not related to Jadeite, at all.

Chrysoprase is very tough and durable; it will stand up to quite heavy wear.

The colour range from very pale and nearly transparent green to a quite dark, even opaque green.

Please note; Australia, like European countries and North America, have very strict consumer protection laws.

It is against the law to sell synthetically made stones as natural gems.

So called "Man Made" or "Created" stones are synthetically made stones.

Likewise, selling stones that have been dyed or treated must be disclosed to the buyer.

Our Chrysoprase is 100% natural.
