Chrysoprase

Can I store my chrysoprase in water or salt?

Chrysoprase is a relatively resistant stone, and an occasional rinse in clear water will not harm it. However, salt water is not recommended, as it could alter its surface and dull its natural brilliance. To purify your chrysoprase, opt for a brief rinse under running water, or alternative methods such as fumigation or moonlight.

Why does my chrysoprase look different from the photos?

Chrysoprase is a variety of chalcedony with shades ranging from light green to apple green, sometimes with natural inclusions. Each stone has its own variations in color and transparency, making it unique. These natural differences are a testament to its authenticity.

How can I improve the appearance of my chrysoprase?

Gentle cleaning with a dry cloth will preserve its brilliance. As it is sensitive to prolonged light, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. To enhance its nuances, place it under soft lighting to highlight its natural brilliance.
