Chrysoprase Necklace

The Fun:

I don't know if it's all the green of spring popping up but I am completely smitten with this chrysoprase.  Maybe no coincidence it's also referred to as "the stone of spring!"
It's not a gem we see too often but it has a long history - dating back to Alexander the Great wearing chrysoprase on his belt during battles.  While it's a fun fact, we are just swooning over the gorgeous apple green color...makes us smile.
