CHRYSOPRASE AUSSIE SLAB
A rustic Chrysoprase Aussie Slab rough rock. This is a large piece with varying shades of green across it. A thoughtful carver could make some very beautiful items out of this stone. The back of the stone still has a rough skin on it. One pic shows the stone with a strong light against it but due to the other side having a thick covering it is hard to get a good shot of the true potential colour of the stone once polished.

Marlborough, Queensland, Australia.

20.5cm x 18.3cm x 2.6cm, 922g.

CHRYSOPRASE ROUGH CUTTING
Beautiful Chrysoprase Rough Cutting Aussie stone. An amazing colour for a rough stone of pale apple green. Once polished it will be quite striking. Usually reserved for jewellers, quality specimens like this are hard to come by and attract high prices. A great Aussie Gemstone. At 140g this is a larger specimen and worthy for any collection, but I think it will be made into jewellery. Some of the photos shown are back-lit with a torch to show the depth of colour and quality.
