hello there,

This a chrysoprase quartz "bi" shape pendant, chrysoprase quartz is often sold as jade all around China and South East Asia. It is much cheaper than green jadeite and looks very similar to untrained eyes...

Color is natural, mineral structure (black inclusions and homogeneity) is characteristic ... Chrysoprase quartz has been used as green jadeite substitute for long time.
