Chrysoprase ring

Chrysoprase in Sterling silver size 5.25

Chrysoprase is highly prized for its opalescent minty, apple-green color, which is especially unique and is owed to its distinctive coloring agent. Most green gemstones are colored by iron, chromium or vanadium, but chrysoprase derives its alluring color from nickel impurities, which form within otherwise colorless quartz crystal.

It is said to carry very strong energy and crystal power, which can bring happiness, protection, success, friendship, good fortune and prosperity. It is also believed to promote inner-strength and courage. It was highly prized by Greeks, Roman and Egyptians alike for its many great powers and alluring soft color. According to Greek legend, chrysoprase ensured a happy marriage and good health
