Before You Buy Chrysoprase

Natural or dyed?

Chrysoprase gets its apple green from nickel. Ordinary chalcedony dyed green is often sold under its name, and a perfectly even green is a warning sign. We disclose all treatments on the product page.

Is lemon chrysoprase the same stone?

No. Lemon or citron chrysoprase is a trade name for a milky green rock made mostly of magnesite, a magnesium carbonate. True chrysoprase is chalcedony, a fine-grained quartz.

Will it fade?

Some chrysoprase fades with long exposure to sunlight or heat. Keep display pieces out of a sunny window and away from heaters.

Care

At about 7 on the Mohs scale it's hard and handles daily carry well. Wash it in warm, soapy water, dry it, and store it apart from softer stones, which it can scratch.
