    Chrysoprase is very inexpensive. 8 grams of 14K gold  would cost $50
    to $60 for the raw gold. Everything else is labor, creativity,
    overhead, and profit. It sounds like you really, really like the
    item. The price does not sound unreaonable. When you find something
    which you really, really like and can afford, BUY IT ! If you wait,
    it might be sold. If you feel comfortable doing it, you can always
    ask (gently) if you can get a better price.  Some sellers (certainly
    not all) expect, and are willing to haggle a little. But if the
    answer is 'no,' just buy it ! Just my opinion. David Barzilay, Lord
    of the Rings
