QUANTITY

Chrysoprase is a bright green variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline quartz. This means that its crystals are so tiny that they can’t be seen under normal magnification. Chrysoprase’s name comes from the Greek: cyrsos (gold) and prase (leek), though some have translated it to mean a “leek-green” gem. Its distinctive green color comes from minute nickel crystals in the quartz, and it occurs as nodules or the fillings of veins in the weathered deposits of nickel ore and in serpentine rocks.
Chrysoprase is the rarest and most valuable chalcedony. Polish and Czechoslovakian mines used to supply a great deal of the gem-quality chrysoprase, but now most of the finest material, which is apple-green and translucent, comes from Queensland, Australia. The finest chrysoprase has often been mistaken for jadeite; in Asia it has been sold as “Australian Imperial Jade.”
