Rolled Chrysoprase

Like Chalcedony, Chrysoprase formed in crevices of rock of different kinds, but especially in volcanic lava. Metamorphic rocks and hydromineral veins developed at low temperatures as precipitation of silica solutions with nickel impurities. Quality chrysoprase is rare because it has been widely explored since the days of the Greeks and Romans. Currently, the largest deposits are located in the United States, Russia, Australia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Madagascar, Brazil and India.

The ancient Greeks honored this stone whose value was considered the equivalent of gold. The Greeks believed that the chrysoprase protected against depression and moodiness. Chrysoprase was already used by the Greeks and Romans to make official seals and cameos. In Egypt, the Chrysoprase was used as a stone of protection, healing, and against black magic. During the Baroque period (17th and 18th centuries) it was widely used as imitation of Chinese jade in both jewelry making and decoration elements.
Nowadays, due to its magical properties, Chrysoprase is widely used in various esoteric articles.
