I got a couple of slabs of this in the spring and finally worked on a batch of cabs, this stuff is awesome! Kinda pricey at 25 bucks but really cool material. Here's the almost finished batch on top of the other slab:

Great cabs and I love the presentation. I had a chunk of it but not as nice as yours.

Nice! Chrysoprase comes in so many colors and shades. I always want to call the material you show "lime" chrysoprase.

What do you mean for 25 bucks? Is that a lb or a slab? I have alot of slabs of this stuff, never knew it was somewhat of value

Took me a bit to figure out what I was seeing --- then read your post. Not really dyed peanuts! I've seen serpentine about that same color.
Nice! Thanks!
