Chrysoprase in Yellow Jasper Obelisk CYJ-1O
About this Specimen:
Dimensions: 91mm x 31mm
Weight: 153.25g
Called the stone of Venus, Chrysoprase is the rarest and most valuable rich apple-green gemstone in the chalcedony family and was often mistaken for emeralds by ancient jewelers.
Alexander the Great always wore a girdle into battle that was embedded with a bright chrysoprase stone. On his return from a successful campaign in India, he laid aside his girdle to bathe in the Euphrates River. While the girdle lay unattended, a serpent came and bit off the stone and dropped it into the water. Alexander III didn't win another campaign after losing this precious talisman.
Now, there’s lots of chrysoprase in the market, but the apple-green/darker green ones are the more valuable ones. I have been hunting for chrysoprase for a long time and even though there’s actually a lot in Indonesia, they just aren’t green enough!
