Australian Chrysoprase Slices

- natural, polished, slices

Fine quality Australian chrysoprase, particularly from the Marlborough mines, is rare and highly valued for its vibrant green color and translucency, often described as "apple green". 

Chrysoprase, also known as Australian Jade, is a green variety of Chalcedony that contains minor traces of Nickel. It’s structure is cryptocrystalline, which basically means Chrysoprase is made up of a large amount of tiny crystals too small for the human eye to even see! This crystal was first found in 1844 by J.D. Dana. He named it for the Greek words meaning “gold” and “green”. In ancient times, Chrysoprase was often referred to as “the Stone of Venus”. It was commonly worn as jewelry or used as a carving and sculpting material due to its raw beauty.

Chrysoprase is a stone of the heart that is here to fill one's aura with strong healing energies. This stone will help activate and open one's heart chakra, making it easier to get in touch with your emotional body. By being better in touch with yourself, one will soon realize the inner strength in which they possess. Chrysoprase urges us to channel the newly found strength directly into our heart space, attempting to cleanse and rid all negative energy.
