Chrysoprase is a gemstone variety of chalcedony (a cryptocrystalline form of silica) that contains small quantities of nickel. Its colour is normally apple-green, but varies to deep green

Chrysoprase is a finer gem than it's sister gem - Chalcedony and finer still to Carnelian

Wear a Chrysoprase if you want a little extra calm and connection with nature and truth and is a powerful stone that is said to encourage love, empathy, forgiveness, kindness, and compassion. Chrysoprase is said to help people make use of their talents and gifts, which can promote creativity and success

While chrysoprase is usually green, the stone's name is derived from the Greek words for “golden leek” or “golden apple.” The gem has a long-standing history, having been found in some ancient Greek and Roman artifacts, making it clear that it was known during that period in history and was a treasured gem
