three ovals w/ chrysoprase


another new piece made of three hollow form ovals with beaded vertical lines, and chrysoprase beads on blackened chain for contrast
--chrysoprase is a beautiful semi translucent and often opalescent apple green stone in the quartz family--- it's green is derived from it nickel content-- often mistaken for imperial jade --it was used by the greeks, romans an egyptians for ornamentation... lovely stone..

i will be listing my new pieces toward the end of may-- can't wait to get my etsy shop stocked back up!
