Chrysoprase is considered to be the rarest and most valuable stone in the chalcedony quartz group. Chrysoprase is cryptocrystalline, which means that it is composed of crystals so fine that they cannot be seen as distinct particles under normal magnification. It has metaphysical properties for healing as well as being a stone to attract new love and abundance and prosperity. Chrysoprase facilitates deep meditation and relaxation. Use tumbled Chrysoprase to facilitate acceptance of oneself and of others. Working with the Heart Chakra, it is known for bringing hope into dire situations, and is excellent for breaking negative cycles.
