Chrysoprase is a rare and expensive variety of Chalcedony - a microcrystalline quartz variety – which is what Chalcedony is.   Chrysoprase gemstones can come in various hues of green through to shades of yellow.  Its usual green colouring comes from traces of nickel; it is different to other Gemstones, such as Emerald or Chrome Chalcedony which get their colour from chromium.

Chrysoprase mines have been continuously operating in central Tanzania for more than thirty years; this is where most modern mining is conducted.

Hand made in Wexford, Ireland, by Julie G Silver Studio, genuine high quality  chips and combined with sterling silver,one of a kind, with other variants available in my store.
