exhibiting a high degree of iridescence are Spectrolite, Moonstone and Sunstone.
High quality samples with good iridescent qualities are desired for jewelry.

This is a very pretty, smaller sterling Silver pendant with a 1/2"
in length and 3/4" in height, Chrysoprase stone. This pendant measures 1" from the
top to the bottom. The bail measures 1/4". The cabochon has a
beautiful light green color. Chrysoprase is a
gemstone variety of
chalcedony (a
cryptocrystalline form of
silica) that contains small quantities of
nickel. Its color is normally
apple-green, but can be a deep green color. The darker varieties of
chrysoprase are also referred to as prase. Chrysoprase is
cryptocrystalline, which means that it is composed of crystals so fine
that they cannot be seen as distinct particles under normal magnification.
This sets it apart from rock crystal,
amethyst,
citrine, and the other varieties of
crystalline quartz which are basically transparent and formed from easily
recognized six-sided crystals.

Quartz is the second most common mineral in the Earth's continental
crust. It is mainly composed of Silica or Silica based minerals. Although
Quartz is known by a variety of names, the most important distinction
between types of Quartz is that of macro-crystalline, individual crystals
visible to the unaided eye, and micro-crystalline, where aggregates of
crystals are only visible under high magnification. There are many forms
of Quartz including Chalcedony, Amethyst, Citrine, and Carnelian which are
results of mineral impurities or heat treatments. |

from the formation process and flow patterns in the sediment or volcanic
ash that was saturated with silica which formed the banding or swirling
designs in the rock.
