Chrysoprase

Chrysoprase is a variety of chalcedony that appears as soft apple green which makes it desirable. It is cryptocrystalline, which means that it is composed of crystals so fine that they cannot be seen as distinct particles under normal magnification.

The word chrysoprase comes from the Greek chrysos meaning 'gold' and prasinon, meaning 'green'. This gives us a clue to its healing potential. In my opinion Chrysoprase supports our connection to heart and solar energies - helping us discover joyfilled experiences.

Through working with this stone we are more able to untangle ourselves from things which hold us back and limit our joy of life.
