Chrysoprase derives its color from the nickel content, unlike other green stones who owe their color to chromium or vanadium. It is found in Australia, Brazil, the Ural Mountains, and the U.S. and is the rarest of the chalcedony group. This piece of Chrysoprase is still in the matrix, or the rock that it was found in, which makes it more stable.
