53533.0 One 20 Piece Lot of Assorted Sized Oval Australian Chrysoprase Cabochons

Australian Cabochon Cut Chrysoprase.

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.

"Lemon Chrysoprase" is a rather rare Yellow Chrysoprase.
