Chrysoprase Rolled Leaf

Chrysoprase Rolled Leaf

My Rolled Leaf design is about nature covering and protecting us (often from ourselves). The idea was originally about us as a species but could be applied personally both physically and mentally I think.

Chrysoprase is another type of stone I carve alongside Jade.  Its colour and translucence makes it really standout. I got this straight from the miner in Western Australia.  It looks quite Aqua in direct light and a little greener out of it.

This stone has the occasional air bubble and some streaks and swirls inside. I like these, without them I think it would look too fake and resin like due to the amazing colour.
