WHY GREEN CHRYSOPRASE?
Rich apple-green Chrysoprase is the rarest and most valuable stone in the Chalcedony family and was often mistaken for Emeralds by ancient jewelers. Known as the stone of Venus, Chrysoprase jewelry was worn by Cleopatra and Alexander the Great. Greeks, Roman and Egyptians used Chrysoprase to make seals, signets, jewelry and other ornamental objects for its vivid color. A favorite of Frederick the Great of Prussia, Chrysoprase decorates many buildings in Prague, including the Chapel of St Wenceslas. Chrysoprase is the stone for the astrological sign of Cancer, and is associated with the 3rd Chakra. The best quality Chrysoprase is found in Australia, and is called "Australian Jade" in China, rivaling Imperial Jade in color, hardness and beauty.
The rich color of Chrysoprase can fade if exposed to direct sunlight or extreme heat for prolonged periods of time. Please avoid excess or direct exposure to harsh conditions, which can damage the color of your gemstones.
