I have more than a few pounds of Australian Chrysoprase that was purchased in the lates 90’s. A pic of the cabachons that I have made from the rough that I do have. I need to work on the final polishing for these stones.
Also, this is what I would call the lower quality of the material that I have gone through so far……is there a huge demand for this kind of material???

Elijah, those are some very nice gemstones you have made, I have just a few pieces myself and I’m glad to see that you have also made some with the brown incisions as I have. I think you have done a great job on them including the free forms. I’m not aware of any market trends but I think that any quality Chrysoprase if finished well will always have a market.
Good luck with them and great work!

Thank you! The inclusions definitely give a different sense of beauty to the chrysoprase l

Elijah,
I have to agree with Thomas (@thartlove). Keeping the inclusions in the Chrysoprase gives it life, and distinction from the stones that have none. To me, inclusions are part of the story that the stone is telling. 
There always seems to be a good level of interest in Chrysoprase. I think Spring and Summer is where the light-green to apple green stones draw the most attention when I have them set as the center piece or accents.
Cheers!
