Chrysoprase is a bright apple green, translucent stone, whose color often caused ancient jewelers to confuse it with Emerald. A cryptocrystalline Chalcedony, its brilliant color comes from the presence of very small inclusions of Nickel compounds, as opposed to the presence of Chromium which creates Emerald’s green color. Chrysoprase is believed to balance the heart chakra and help one understand their needs and emotions. As with all natural stones, colour and look may differ from strand to strand and even from bead to bead. Beads: Chips 5mm-10mm - 80cm strand - 20cm strand Round 4-5mm - 40cm strand
