Chrysoprase
Classification: Cryptocrystalline Silica
Chemical Composition: SiO2
Hardness: 6-7 on the Mohs scale
Source: Australia, Russia, Brazil, USA, and other parts of the world.
Symbolic Meanings:
Growth
Renewal
Compassion
Associations:
Element: Water
Planet: Venus
Zodiac Signs: Libra, Taurus
Chakra: Heart Chakra
Geological Properties:
Chrysoprase is a green variety of chalcedony, which is a type of quartz. Its vibrant, apple-green hue comes from the presence of nickel compounds. Unlike emerald which owes its green color to chromium, chrysoprase's coloration is due to trace amounts of nickel.
Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Known as a heart chakra stone, Chrysoprase imparts a sense of being a part of the divine whole. It is believed to promote love, truth, and hope, bringing personal insights and stimulating creativity. The stone is also thought to help in mending a broken heart and in fostering forgiveness and compassion. Emotionally, Chrysoprase has been used to combat feelings of jealousy, resentment, and other negative emotions, allowing its user to achieve emotional balance.
Collectibility and Use:
Due to its bright and attractive color, Chrysoprase is a highly sought-after gemstone in the jewelry industry. It's often cut as cabochons or used as beads in various jewelry designs. Its relative hardness makes it durable for most types of jewelry, including rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.
Apart from jewelry, it's also used for carvings, amulets, and in some cases, ornamental purposes. High-quality Chrysoprase is often compared to jade and can sometimes command similar prices.
Care and Maintenance:
Chrysoprase can be cleaned using lukewarm water and a soft cloth or brush. It's best to avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals, which might affect its color. It's also advisable to store Chrysoprase away from other gemstones to prevent scratching.
