Chrysoprase

 

According to Alburtus Magnus: The always victorious Alexander the Great wore a chrysoprase stone in his girdle. One day a snake bit the stone off the girdle and dropped it in the river. From that time forward, Alexander never won another battle.

According to the 11th Century Byzantine manuscript of Michael Psellius, chrysoprase was believed to strengthen vision and relieve internal pain.

It is believed to encourage maximum physical outcomes to situations and helps to heal the "broken heart". It encourages fidelity in business and personal affairs. It is considered useful in treating disorders of the heart, in increasing dexterity and for treating the reproductive organs, including an increase in fertility and other sexual imbalances.

It is a soothing stone for those suffering from the pangs of love. It helps to release emotional tension and stress. This is a healing stone: it works well with other stones, increasing the other stone's healing properties. 

Green is also the color of abundance, whether in a material sense or in terms of healing. Traditionally chrysoprase is believed to attract abundance and to help in success in new ventures. As another example of the widespread applications of the word "abundance," this stone is also considered useful in attracting new friends.

Chrysoprase is a stone that can help us to peacefully absorb spiritual energies, and to make transformation a natural part of our daily lives. Chrysoprase is protective. It is protective against bad influences, nightmares, and anguish.

Chrysoprase is said to help with weight loss. That is only because chrysoprase balances neurotic patterns, eases depression and sexual imbalance. It is calming, balancing, and healing for physical/emotional/mental bodies. It helps one see clearly into personal problems.
