Wow that's really neat material! I picked up some slabs of light green stuff that appears to be agate like at Snyders several years ago. The slabs appear to be more mottled in pattern though and also look to be cut from large rocks. I'll have to dig some out and post pics sometime as I'm at a loss as to what they are because the gal who sold them had no clue......Mel

You know, they Tiffany & Co. used to dig up chrysoprase out in Porterville, CA area so I imagine that this could be chrysoprase. I am sure that it is not a jade though, cuts totally different and took a glass polish very easily with no orange peel effect at all or waxiness.
