This round untreated chrysoprase cabochon has a silky, translucent green color and its durability makes it ideal for setting in bezel mountings in nearly any style of jewelry.

The most valuable form of chalcedony and prized for its color, bottle-green chrysoprase is often mistaken for jade due to this vivid-to-soft green color, which comes from nickel silicate within the stone. The stone is composed of crystals of such fineness that they are not discernible as separate particles under normal magnification. According to folklore, the stone carries the 'vibration of Divine Truth' and banishes depression and anxiety, replacing them with joy and happiness.
