Stoned
A short while back I order a chrysoprase pendant and some beads and make a beautiful green necklace. Later, I decide also to order some "lemon chrysoprase" beads, even though I don't have anything to go with them. They were chartreuse and cool looking. Later still I order some "peridot jasper" beads, which bear an uncanny resemblance to the lemon chrysoprase beads. Recently, I bought a "lemon jade" (which is probably serpentine) pendant which bears an uncanny resemblance to both the jasper and chrysoprase beads. This past Saturday, I attend a local gem and mineral show and there are some beads which look like the lemon chrysoprase, the peridot jasper and the lemon jade. I ask the man at the booth what they are and he said "new jade," which I hear is also serpentine. I ask him if it is also known as lemon chrysoprase, but he didn't know. Today I receive in the mail a lemon chrysoprase pendant, which not only looks like the beads, but also looks similar to a jade pendant I'd purchased a while ago that they called "Canadian Jade." Now I've seen Canadian jade in pictures, and it really doesn't look like that pendant, but I do also have another pendant called "Canadian Jade" which is completely bizarre looking and also resembles some Zebra jasper beads I have, but the weird thing is is that I've seen Canadian jade sold which looks like a pendant that I have that was called "Rainforest Jasper" which is also known as Rhyolite, except it doesn't look like Rhyolite at all, in fact Rhyolite reminds me a lot of some greenish brown turquoise I've seen, but what's weirder still is that there's this turquoise called "yellow turquoise" which looks a lot like peridot jasper and lemon chrysoprase. Confused? So am I.
