What are chrysoprase bracelets?
Chrysoprase bracelets are crafted from chrysoprase, a rare variety of chalcedony belonging to the quartz family. This gemstone is prized for its vivid apple-green to deep emerald hues, which come from traces of nickel within the stone. Chrysoprase has been discovered in regions such as Australia, Brazil, Madagascar, Poland, and the United States, and it is celebrated for its beauty as well as its healing properties.
