Chrysoprase Meaning: Metaphysical Properties & Uses

Chrysoprase comes in wonderful shades of bright apple green and lemon. It was said by the ancients to promote a love of truth, and is hailed by mystics of the new age as a stone of belonging. It is believed to promote a sense of integration and connectedness to the whole of creation.

Meaning

Chrysoprase promotes hope and gives personal insights. It stimulates creativity and encourages the expression of hidden talents. It is said to encourage fidelity in partnerships, both business and personal and to reveal your innermost strengths when used in meditation. It shows you the infinite amount of resources you already have, even if you were not previously aware of them.

Metaphysical Qualities

One of the attributes of Chrysoprase, in the metaphysical world, is to bring the Universal Energy that is all around us into our physical bodies. Its fresh green color also links it with renewal and new growth.

In metaphysical belief, Chrysoprase is linked with keeping the ego in check. It is associated with openness to new ideas and with a calm, quiet ego when we need to learn new things. If you have suffered from the effects of ego-based decisions in the past, try carrying a piece of Chrysoprase with you as a touchstone when you embark on a new way of being or behaving. It is also a symbol of letting go of old habits of thought and turning your attention to the positive events and actions in your life. Chrysoprase is traditionally associated with self-acceptance, forgiveness and understanding, and many people wear it as a reminder to give themselves the care and respect they deserve.

Mentally, Chrysoprase is believed to stimulate fluency in communication, and to deter you from speaking out unthinkingly from anger. It is traditionally linked with quick thinking in decision making and, in metaphysical belief, with peaceful dreams.

Like Peridot, its cheerful shades of yellow and green are traditionally linked with joy and with the energy, hope and vitality of springtime.

Uses for Chrysoprase

This crystal is traditionally linked with the Sacral chakra and with emotional openness. The Sacral chakra is the center of creativity, both in the physical sense of creating new life but also in the realms of creative projects and ideas. In crystal practice, Chrysoprase is used as a focus for the Sacral chakra when you are facing writer’s block, and it is just as popular for other creative endeavors, from baking cakes to producing art and music.

Many people place a piece of Chrysoprase where they do their work or hobbies as a symbol of fresh energy and new ways of thinking.

Setting your intentions into Chrysoprase Beads and wearing them in handmade jewelry is a great way to take advantage of the energy, and serves as continual reminder of your self promise.

These are traditional beliefs, not claims of physical effect. Crystals are not a substitute for medical care.
