Chrysoprase
Chrysoprase takes its name from the Greek krisos (“golden,” referring to its brightness) and prason (“leek,” for its distinctive green hue). Sourced from Germany, Australia, the United States and Madagascar, it belongs to the quartz family and is known for its vibrant, even colour that can evoke the purity of jade.
Often cut into cabochons, chrysoprase is among the oldest documented gemstones. It is said to have been worn by figures such as Alexander the Great and Frederick II of Prussia, drawn to its luminous presence and bold green tone.
Through the centuries, various traditions have associated it with harmony and calm — a stone thought to ease tensions and support emotional balance, sometimes linked to friendship and personal growth.
Its vivid colour and natural freshness continue to inspire contemporary designers such as Lito, Brooke Gregson, Cathy Waterman and Ivarene, who value its bright, expressive character.
