Mineralogical synthesis of your raw Chrysoprase
Microcrystalline Quartz is thought to be a variety of Chalcedony. Recent research, however, suggests a more complex nature: it could be a combination of several silica polymorphs, such as Quartz, Moganite, Chalcedony or Opal.
Nickel silicates in its crystalline fibrous structure give it a varying shade of green.
Vitreous and silky or waxy, translucent or opaque, Chrysoprase reflects light with an eye-popping brilliance that has made this rare stone famous since antiquity. Today, its finest quality is mined in Australia. Other deposits are found mainly in Germany, Brazil, the United States, Poland and Madagascar.
It's a pretty solid stone: its hardness is between 6.5 and 7 on the Mohs scale.
Why does Chrysoprase lose its brilliance in sunlight?
It is sensitive to heat and light. The nickel contained in its structure can deteriorate if the crystal is exposed to sunlight for too long. The stone, which like other crystals contains a very small amount of water, can lose moisture through excessive heat. Prolonged exposure to UV light can also affect it, but this is rare.
How can we protect it?
Never leave it in a car in summer! Store it away from direct light when not in use. Never use products other than lukewarm water to clean it.
*Please note! Some minerals may be toxic and must not be licked or ingested (as such or in the form of powder, elixir or stone water) or be in prolonged contact with the skin or mucous membranes.
