Chrysoprase
|
Crystal System... During its intermediate stage of formation, Prase Opal is created which appears to look almost identical to Chrysoprase. As water is lost, the transformation to Chrysoprase occurs, and as it dries even more it loses its bright green color and slowly pales. You could duplicate the earth's natural processes by placing an Opal on a bed of salt which would remove the water from the crystal lattice, although I definitely could not recommend that for the Opal. This is one of the reasons I never use salt to clear or cleanse any of my gems and use my herbal mix instead. |

Zodiac Affinity... Folklore... It has been written that Chrysoprase was once used by thieves sentenced to be hanged or beheaded. A piece would be placed in the mouth and they would escape execution. Although I am not sure how this fortunate result was obtained, it seems likely that it was believed to have carried the same qualities of Opal, long praised for its ability to make one invisible. Considered a lucky stone, it is worn for eloquence, success in new undertakings and to attract friends. In the 13th century, it was engraved with an image of a bull and worn as an amulet for protection, and it is still used today as a shield against negativity. To attract money, carry a piece with you at all times. |
