Chrysoprase, also known as Australian Jade, is a green variety of Chalcedony that contains minor traces of Nickel. Its structure is cryptocrystalline, which means Chrysoprase is made up of a large number 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. Add this unique piece to your jewelry collection today.
