Chrysoprase Crystal Tower

Here is another strikingly coloured Chrysoprase Tower from Madagascar. You certainly get a great handful of crystal compared to those sourced from other countries. Each one we have is full of character and each looks delightfully different to the others.

Meaning of Chrysoprase Crystal

This crystal stimulates creativity and draws out ones talents. It can mend a broken heart, heal relationships and especially helps the inner child wounds. It energises the physical body as well as reducing depression. Read more on the Healing tab below.

This one has places where it was patched by the craftsman and its has a dramatic group of inclusions down one side. Rather than take to lapidary club to “fix it up” I thought someone will love it with a big discount!

This chrysoprase free form will make a wonderful birthday or anniversary gift for someone.
