Chrysoprase Stone Beads | Sticks or Chips Shape | 10mm x 20mm

The chrysoprase stone is part of the chalcedony family of gems, and it is in fact considered to be one of the rarest types of chalcedony. These chrysoprase beads are a lovely green, like the color of aspen leaves after a spring rain, with webs of brown. The chrysoprase stone owes its name to a Greek word meaning "gold-leek," which is a bit of a misnomer because these days, the darker and more richly green a chrysoprase gem is, the more valuable it is. Green chrysoprase would enhance any necklace or bracelet that gets its inspiration from the forest. The chrysoprase stone, on top of being the most valuable type of chalcedony, is also thought by some people to have special qualities. Specifically, people believe that the tranquil green of chrysoprase can help bring the mind to a balance, just like taking a walk through a forest can help balance your mind and body.
