Chrysoprase
Chrysoprase glows in lively apple and yellow-green, a color that feels both fresh and grounded. Hand-wrapped in Nashville, it brings a soft, opaque-to-translucent wash of green to everyday jewelry.
- Color
- Fresh apple green through yellow-green, often softly translucent rather than glassy.
- Family
- Green chalcedony colored by nickel, in the same fine-grained quartz family as carnelian.
- Wear
- 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale; suitable for regular wear, with protection from scratches and hard knocks.
- A little history
- Its name joins Greek words for gold and leek-green, preserving an old description of the gem’s color.
