The symbol

Libra is a cardinal air sign ruled by Venus. Its glyph traces the scales of Themis, the Greek titaness of divine order, and the only zodiac sign represented by an object rather than a living being. Born between September 23 and October 22, Libra opens at the autumn equinox, the second moment of the year when day and night are equal. Across traditions Libra has been associated with balance, fairness, partnership, and the quiet, deliberate art of weighing one thing against another before acting.

About this stone

Chrysoprase is the most valuable variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz colored apple green by trace nickel. The historical Polish deposits of Lower Silesia supplied the stones set into the medieval Saint Wenceslas Chapel in Prague, where chrysoprase appears throughout the walls. Modern production comes mainly from Australia's Marlborough deposit and from Madagascar. Unlike most green gems, chrysoprase has no transparency, only a soft glow from within the cryptocrystalline structure. The stone is 7 on the Mohs scale, durable and stable. Curated by a certified gemologist.

Care and wear

Chrysoprase is durable for daily wear but can fade with prolonged sun exposure. Remove before extended sunbathing. Clean with mild soap and warm water, dried with a soft cloth.
