Chrysoprase is a variety of chalcedony (quartz) which is an opalescent apple green color. Most green gemstones owe their color to chromium or vanadium, but chrysoprase derives its beautiful coloration from the nickel content it contains. Which means that it is possible for the color to fade if it is subjected to too much sunlight. The name chrysoprase comes from the Greek chrysos meaning gold and prason, meaning leek or bloom. The Greeks bestowed this name due to the presence of the golden drops that appear to be contained in the stone.

Kunzite was discovered near the beginning of the twentieth century, in America, named for its discover, the gemologist G.F. Kunz. And although it does not have a very long history, its effectiveness has been tried and proven. Kunzite is a form of Spodumene, which occurs in a wide range of colors, although the most common color is the yellow gray (which is called triphane). Two other gemstone varieties, the lilac-pink kunzite (colored by manganese) and the bright emerald green hiddenite (colored by chromium) are very popular with collectors.

The splashes of soft peach against a fresh green colored background makes Unakite a much beloved and magical gemstone.
