Semi Precious Stone Chrysoprase Rings

Chrysoprase is careful the most precious stone in the chalcedony group. The microscopic fine quartz fibers have a radial structure. Unlike most other green stones, which owe their color to chromium or even vanadium, Chrysoprase derives its green color to discoloration by nickel oxide compounds. Large broken pieces are often full of fissure with unbalanced colors.

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.
