Chrysoprase Stone Rich Green Colour
Rough chrysoprase stone with the most distinctive green colour.
Chrysoprase is a beautiful mineral that's a type of chalcedony.
The name comes from the Greek words "chrysos" meaning gold and "prason" meaning leek. This is because the colour of chrysoprase was once compared to the colour of fresh leeks.
The green colour comes from impurities of nickel in its crytal structure.
Chrysoprase was used extensively by designer Peter Fabergé. Fabergé was a Russian jeweller who designed Easter eggs using precious metals and gemstones.
When used for its metaphysical healing properties chrysoprase promotes emotional balance, enhances personal insight and builds a strong connection with nature.
