THE ORIGINS:

This natural stone belongs to the silicate group and owes its name to the Greek "chrysos" (gold) and "prason" (leek), referring to its characteristic golden green color.

Chrysoprase forms in nickel-rich environments, an element that gives it its typical hue.

The main deposits are in Australia, which is the most important and renowned producer in terms of quality.
Other deposits can be found in Brazil, Tanzania, Poland, Russia and the United States.

Since ancient times it was considered a precious stone: already used by the Greeks and Romans, it was a symbol of prosperity and renewal.
