Australian Chrysoprase - Flourish - 111ct
Australian chrysoprase is considered to be the finest chrysoprase in the world and is renown for it fabulous green hues and lush glowing translucency. It is an exceptional stone and often confused for high quality jade. This is a piece of chrysoprase from Marlborough in Queensland that I've had for many years and I finally decided to carve it. The original rough stone had an awkward odd shape that I had to try and work with so I pretty much allowed the stone to dictate the shape and went with that. After many days I finally finished the carving and I was very very happy with how it turned out. The luscious green hued glow is just divine, the translucency beautifully diffuses the light and colour to give it a rich, soft, soothing feel. The carving itself is done in a flourishing-flame style.
