Topic: Chrysophrase


  
  Chrysophrase (Discworld) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chrysophrase is a character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.
Chrysophrase is more obviously at home in Ankh-Morpork than most trolls, and wears a suit, rather than the usual loincloth and lichen.
The picture of Chrysophrase in The Art of Discworld portrays him as made out of smooth, waxy rock, which both reflects the mineral he is named after, and resembles Marlon Brando's portrayal of Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather.

 [Rockhounds] Blue Chrysoprase   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Hi, I can't answer the question, but I will suggest that the spelling is "chrysophrase." I did a web search and couldn't find any, though I did find blue chalcedony, and chrysophrase is green chalcedony after all.
I always thought the name "chrysophrase" was specific to the green material, but I could be wrong, and since it is a colloquial name like "druse" you are likely to find varied opinions on the matter.
However, if you're not having any luck finding it, try "blue chalcedony" instead.
