<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 371890, member: 36"]I sold a similar one on Ebay not that long ago; the stones were cabs. Chrysoprase that stone isn't. Chrysoprase is uniformly green and it's darker. The spotty green is aventurine quartz. Mahogany obsidian is brown and black; it's a stone that started turning up in jewelry about 20 years ago if memory serves. Chrysoprase comes in orange too, i.e. carnelian and light gray/purply blue - chalcedony. Those are all translucent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
