Chrysoprase Palm Stone - 2.5-2.75 inch

This Chrysoprase Palm Stone shows a soft apple-to-deep-green tone, sometimes with paler mottling, polished into a smooth, flattened oval that fills the palm comfortably. Light-coloured inclusions and veining break across the surface of individual pieces, and the stone carries a gentle translucence at the edges where the polish is thinnest. The surface is smooth and cool to the touch, with a finish that reads clean under light.

Chrysoprase is traditionally associated with optimism and an open, positive outlook, and is commonly chosen by those seeking a heart-centred, uplifting presence in daily life. It is often held during quiet reflection, kept as a desk companion, or carried through the day as a steadying touchstone. Some also value it as a stone of renewal, supporting a gentle sense of personal growth over time.

Geological Information
Chrysoprase is a chalcedony variety of the quartz family, silicon dioxide of the trigonal system at a Mohs hardness of 7. Its apple-to-deep-green colour comes from nickel impurities, making it the only chalcedony coloured by that element, and quality material shows an intense, translucent green often compared to fine jade. It is commonly sold in the trade under the name "Australian Jade," though this is a misleading trade name, since Chrysoprase is genuinely chalcedony, not jade at all. Chrysoprase was used in ancient Greece and Rome, was reportedly worn by Alexander the Great, and decorates the 14th-century St Wenceslas Chapel in Prague, one of the more specific European historical references for any retail crystal. While Queensland, Australia is the primary commercial source, with further deposits in Poland, Tanzania, Brazil, and the USA, this material is supplier-noted as sourced from Peru.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding. Chrysoprase can fade with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store away from bright light when not in use.
