Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent, old time example of gem chrysoprase from Australia!!! Let me start by saying that, as with some green minerals, the digital camera just couldn't accurately
capture its green color so I took pictures using my regular lighting and some full-spectrum
fluorescent lighting - please know that this specimen has a much more lively green color than most of the pictures show (the
green color looks somewhat different under sunlight and incandescent light as well)!!! I would describe its color in person similar to what green
grapes look like, or a nice green prehnite specimen!!! In any case, color aside - this is an incredible, curiously formed mass of
gem chrysoprase!!! The chrysoprase has clarity that ranges from milky-translucent to gemmy-translucent!!! The unique form, high translucence, and
attractive color make this specimen simply incredible in person!!! Old material!!! This specimen is from the collection of A.J. Beres!!! The pics
hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 7th!!!
