It's important to note that while many people believe in the healing properties of gemstones, these should not replace medical advice or treatment. If you have specific health concerns, it is recommended to consult with a qualified healthcare professional.
Chrysoprase has been appreciated since ancient times. It was highly regarded by the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians for its vibrant green colour. The stone was often used for carving cameos, beads, and ornamental objects. In ancient Egypt, chrysoprase was associated with fertility, prosperity, and protection. It was believed to bring good fortune and was often used in jewellery, amulets, and talismans. During the medieval and Renaissance eras, chrysoprase continued to be popular in jewellery, particularly in Europe. It was used to adorn crowns, rings, and religious artifacts.
Chrysoprase is a variety of chalcedony, which is a cryptocrystalline form of silica. It belongs to the quartz family and is known for its vibrant green colour, which is attributed to the presence of nickel impurities. The formation of chrysoprase involves a process known as replacement or metasomatism. Silica-rich fluids infiltrate the host rock and interact with the minerals present. Over time, these fluids deposit silica in the form of tiny microcrystals, creating the characteristic fine-grained texture of chalcedony. The presence of nickel impurities within the fluid contributes to the vibrant green colouration of chrysoprase. Chrysoprase is typically found in locations with significant nickel deposits, including Australia, Brazil, Germany, Poland, Russia, and the United States. Western Australia, in particular, is renowned for its high-quality chrysoprase deposits.
I embrace the soothing energy of Chrysoprase, finding inner peace, harmony, and emotional healing within its vibrant green embrace.

Jewellery Warranty & Care
When crafted into jewellery, some crystals are more hardy than others.
For everyday wearers, we recommend crystals that fall in the Quartz family or have a Moh's hardness level of over 5.5-6.
Avoid excessive water exposure, especially in pools or the ocean and any harsh chemicals.
Delicate crystals like Amber, Moonstone, Opal, and iron-based meteorites need gentle handling due to potential discolouration or structural risks. These are best as occasion pieces.
