	Chrysoprase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chrysoprase (also chrysophrase) is a gemstone variety of chalcedony (fibrous form of quartz) that contains small quantities of nickel.
		Unlike emerald which owes its beautiful green color to the presence of chromium, the color of chrysoprase is due to trace amounts of nickel in the structure.
		The nickel reportedly occurs as platelets of the talc-like mineral willemseite.

		Chrysoprase occurs within the deep weathering profile resulting from lateritisation of nickeliferous serpentinites or other ultrabasic rocks in the Marlborough district, where Neoproterozoic-Early Palaeozoic serpentinised ultrabasics have undergone later lateritic enrichment.
		At Marlborough, the chrysoprase occurs throughout the weathering profile but it is particularly abundant in the magnesite-rich saprolite zone underlying an iron-rich silica cap.
		The underlying saprolite (soft, earthy, clay-rich) zone, in which the chrysoprase veins and nodules occur, is progressively stripped and the freshly exposed floor is checked for signs of chrysoprase after each bulldozer pass.
