Chrysoprase is a green variety of Chalcedony.
Chrysoprase was prized by the Ancient Greeks, associated with the Goddess, Aphrodite. It was Alexander the Great's favourite gemstone and good luck charm. His armour was decorated with Chrysoprase stones as he believed they protected him and were the reason for his victories in battle. Unfortunately, his superstitions may have been true as the one time he didn't wear his Chrysoprase adorned armour, he was killed. For these reasons the stone has long been associated with gaining the courage needed to face difficult situations.
Chrysoprase has a stabilizing effect on the emotions. It soothes the nerves and assists one in finding the coping skills needed to get through anxiety. It is a popular stone among women as it increases fertility and balances the hormones.
