Chrysoprase

General information

Effect

Chrysoprase has a strong purifying effect, both mentally and physically. It reduces dependence on the love and approval of others (and therefore jealousy and heartbreak) and counteracts obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions. It reduces sleep problems and nightmares and claustrophobia. Chrysoprase encourages a positive attitude, acceptance and trust in both yourself and the bigger picture. The stone strengthens creativity and appreciation for beautiful things and art. It helps to be more open to the spiritual side of life and helps to enter a meditative state. Physically, chrysoprase has a strong detoxifying and cleansing effect and stimulates liver activity. It has a positive effect on skin conditions, eyes, gout and infertility in women, especially if this is reduced by an infection. In combination with smoky quartz it helps with fungal infections.
