Chrysoprase has always been a favorite stone of mine — it’s such a happy color! This beautiful faceted briolette example of the aforementioned gemstone is no exception, and is a perfectly suited star of a necklace as seen suspended on a gold filled chain. Chrysoprase was used by the Greeks, Romans, and the Egyptians in jewelry and other ornamental objects and it was often mistaken for Imperial Jadeite. Chrysoprase is considered one of the most valuable Chalcedony gem stones and is prized for its color and rarity. It is said in folklore to banish greed, selfishness, and carelessness, and helps stir the imagination. #chrysoprase #chrysocollachalcedony #chrysoprasejewelry #chrysoprasenecklace #chrysoprasependant #chrysoprasenecklace #happycolor #gemstonejewelry #handmadejewelry #handmadenecklace #uniquejewelry #simplejewelry #elegantjewelry #layerednecklaces #neckmess #fashion #style #gift #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSo_DYqHgnP/?utm_medium=tumblr
