Chrysoprase
Posted by Heather Burket on
This week we are diving into one of my favorite crystals (I feel like I have a lot of favorites! 😊) But this one truly is one of my favorites. It has a unique coloring of light green and rich, warm, dark brown – it has a more of an earthy vibe than one of the sparkly crystals – like apophyllite.

Mother Nature just has this way of creating these amazing works of art – it never ceases...

Posted by Heather Burket on
