How to use it
Carry it for an uplifting daily presence, hold it in heart-centered meditation, or keep it wherever you want a fresh, positive touchpoint. Because chrysoprase is natural, color depth and translucency vary from stone to stone - each one is unique.
Care & cleansing
Chrysoprase is a hard, durable chalcedony (Mohs 6.5-7) and tolerates a quick rinse without trouble, but its nickel-derived green color can fade or dull with prolonged direct sun or heat exposure, so keep it out of sunny windowsills for long-term display.
