Chrysoprase Earing

Due to its relative scarcity and pleasing green color, Chrysoprase is one of the most prized varieties of quartz. Higher quality specimens often competitor fine jade, for which it is sometimes mistaken. Cut into cabochons (smooth domed gem stones with flat backs for use in jewelry), it can be as required after as fine amethyst.

The highest quality fabric is a rich apple green of even colour, without flaws, fractures, inclusions, cavities or other imperfections.

Healing ability: Chrysoprase is the rarest member of the Chalcedony family that is found in the U.S., Brazil, and Australia. Chrysoprase is believed to prevent depression and also to improve equilibrium, balance, communication, eloquence, hope, youthfulness, and a higher consciousness. Legend says that Chrysoprase is a protector of young animals and young children.
