A dense emerald or apple-grassy green chrysoprase is the most valuable stone from the family of chalcedony. The descriptions of the chrysoprase mineral are found even in ancient sources (for example, in Pliny). The name of the stone is Greek, and was invented explicitly by farmers-gardeners. You can translate it as "golden green onion" (χρυσός - golden, πράσον - green leek). Chrysoprase classifiers of minerals refer to the precious stones of the IV group.

A clean, homogeneous green chrysoprase with high transparency is a rare unique, highly valued by both jewelers and collectors
