Chrysoprase is a green colored gemstone variety of chalcedony. While emeralds get their green color from the presence of chromium, the bright, spring green color of chrysoprase is a result of the presence of nickel. The amount of nickel present causes a beautiful variety of colors, ranging from a pale yellow to a light to dark green. Pieces of this stone are often very beautiful as the nickel inclusions create lovely patterns in the stone. Chrysoprase is the most valuable gemstone in the chalcedony family and used to be mistaken for emeralds by ancient jewelers. These days, the green apple colored variety of chrysoprase is the color most commonly found. Chrysoprase is cryptocrystalline, which means it is composed of crystals so fine, they are not able to be seen by the naked eye, unlike amethyst, citrine and other kinds of crystalline quartz. Agate, carnelian and onyx are other examples of the cryptocrystalline family. Chrysoprase has a hardness of 6–7 on the Moh's hardness scale. It is on the list of birthstones by month as both a May authentic and June birthstone."
