ROBERT SIMMONS Chrysoprase is a lovely stone of the pure Green Ray and as such it is a stone of the heart. Its color speaks of its strong healing energy and of its connection to the domain of Nature spirits. Wearing or meditating with these stones can facilitate a deep heart connection with the spirit of the Earth Mother, as well as devas and other Earth-spirit entities. Chrysoprase also helps one remain centered in the heart at all times, providing the courage to face difficult or threatening situations with steadfast resolve and truth-centered compassion. Through the compassionate lens of Chrysoprase, one is able to look back at relationships which ended unpleasantly and to resolve them inwardly with a profound sense of forgiveness, both for the other person and for oneself. These stones truly give strength to the emotional heart and offer energetic support to the physical heart as well. Chrysoprase also activates the solar-plexus chakra, seat of the will. It works to blend one's personal will with the urgings of the heart, thus uniting our individual desires with the heart's higher longing for the good of all. Meditation with two Chrysoprase stones-one placed at the heart and the other at the solar plexus-will facilitate the linkage of these two energy centers, coordinating their energies and reforming them into a powerful unified vibrational force. The awakened heart. fueled by t undivided will, can do much to awaken the hearts of others and to bring the heart's desires to fruition.
Chrysoprase harmonizes with Ajoite, Danburite, Lepidolite, Amblygonite, Phenacite, Azeztulite, Kunzite, and Morganite. Kunzite and Morganite bring forth the loving aspects of the heart. Phenacite and Azeztulite open inner vision, so one may clearly see the spiritual visions of the heart's wisdom and connection to the Heart of All. Lepidolite and Amblygonite emphasize the relaxing and stress-relieving properties of Chrysoprase, while Danburite completes the linkage of the heart with the crown chakra. Combining Chrysoprase with Strombolite adds an element of humor to its compassionate insights. Moldavite works especially well with Chrysoprase for strengthening the heart chakra and for bringing a sense of being at one with the accelerated dharmic flow of one's. inner and outer life.
