Item Description

Very colorful Chrysoprase miniature with a bit of attached matrix. The cut and polished face of the sculptural nodule has gorgeous, lustrous, translucent, rich apple-green color. This beautiful and shapely piece is from a recent 2018-19 find at this historic old nickel deposit, mined since the Middle Ages and finally abandoned in 1980 (MINDAT). Chrysoprase is the apple-green variety of chalcedony. The color is caused by tiny inclusions of Nickel-bearing layered silicates.
