Description

 

Chrysoprase is a gemstone variety of chalcedony, which is a form of quartz. It is known for its apple-green color, which comes from the presence of nickel in its composition. The name “chrysoprase” is derived from the Greek words “chrysos” meaning gold and “prason” meaning leek, referring to its green color.

Appearance: Chrysoprase typically exhibits a translucent to opaque quality with a range of green shades. The color can vary from light, minty green to a deeper, richer green. Some stones may have brownish or yellowish undertones.

Properties: Chrysoprase has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively durable and suitable for jewelry. It has a vitreous to waxy luster and a smooth, polished surface. Chrysoprase is often cut into cabochons, beads, or carved into decorative objects.
