The carvers developed a style of wearing this around the neck so their prized possession (wood carving tool) will not be misplaced. What is a QUALITY Toki? 1) The binding (also called lashing) sits inside the well-notched slot, which has been created by cutting out the stone on the sides locking the cords & reducing friction and movement of the cord, much more extra work than just binding over the stone.2) No shortcuts are taken (of sticking the cord to the stone that later comes off.)3) The cord is perfectly bound not showing any stone beneath through windows4) Toki is sloping widthwise means extra grinding5) Toki is sloping thickness-wise means extra grinding6) Toki is ground at the top to make it convex/pyramid shaped7) Cord going around the neck is plaited8) The sliding cord which allows you to adjust the length as per your requirements9) Has sliding knots with ends finished in lashed/bound molten knots to have a secure slip knot, unlike the knotted ends found in cheaper versions.10) HIGH POLISH COMES WITH WAXED PLAITED CORD (ADJUSTABLE LENGTH) READY TO WEAR!

This sets it apart from rock crystal and the other varieties of crystalline quartz.Unlike many non-transparent silica minerals, it is the color of chrysoprase, rather than any pattern of markings, that makes it desirable. The word chrysoprase comes from the GREEK chrysos meaning 'gold' and prasinon, meaning 'green'.
