Natural Chrysoprase Sterling Silver Snake Chain Necklace

Stamped Italy 925 Approximately 17.5” in length Pendent 1” long 1.5” wide Gorgeous piece A single mint green and chocolate pendent of beautiful raw polished chrysoprase paired with 925 snake chain Lobster clasp Beautiful condition Called the stone of Venus, chrysoprase is the rarest and most valuable rich apple-green gemstone in the chalcedony family and was often mistaken for emeralds by ancient jewelers. Unlike emeralds, which owe their color to the presence of chromium, the bright spring green of chrysoprase is a result of trace amounts of nickel. Chrysoprase is one of the birthstones for May and has traditionally symbolized happiness, enterprise and prudence. It is a powerful stone that encourages non-judgmental attitudes, can reduce superiority and inferiority complexes and help you avoid speaking out unthinkingly in anger. It bolsters clarity of thought and creativity by attracting abundance and success in new ventures and promotes fidelity within business. The necklace is shown with a 24 inch satellite chain that works wonderfully with shorter layered necklaces.
