Chrysoprase is a green Chalcedony, a member of the Quartz group with a hexagonal crystal system and a hardness of 7. Chrysoprase was used as a gemstone in ancient Greece as far back as 400 BC. It has been found in Australia, Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa and Russia. Chrysoprase is a lovely stone of the pure Green Ray, and as such it is a stone of the heart. It can link one to the domain of Nature spirits. Wearing or meditating with these stones can facilitate a deep heart connection with the spirit of the Earth, as well as devas and other Earth-spirit entities. Chrysoprase helps one remain centered in the heart, providing the courage to face difficult or threatening situations with steadfast resolve and truth-centered compassion. These stones give strength to the emotional heart and offer energetic support to the physical heart. Chrysoprase also activates the solar plexus chakra, seat of the will. It helps blend one’s personal will with the urgings of the heart, uniting one’s individual desires with the heart’s higher longing for the good of all. Chrysoprase harmonizes with Ajoite, Danburite, Lepidolite, Amblygonite, Phenacite, Azeztulite, Kunzite and Morganite. Kunzite and Morganite bring forth the loving aspects of the heart. Phenacite and Azeztulite open inner vision. Lepidolite and Amblygonite emphasize the relaxing and stress-relieving properties of Chrysoprase.
