This material, known as Lemon or Citron Chrysoprase for its lemon yellow color, comes from the Eastern Goldfields area of Western Australia.
It is found in a belt of rocks that stretch from Norseman in the south to near Wiluna in the north. It occurs in many of the same locations as that of the well known green chalcedony named Chrysoprase.
Citron Chrysoprase occurs as veins & plates but also commonly occurs in nodular form, quite often exceeding many tons in weight for a single nodule. Usually the interiors of these large nodules are of lighter color & porous and unsuitable for cutting.
The French word for lemon is "citron" . Though named "Chrysoprase", it is actually a magnesite.
Metaphysical Proprties: Citron Chrysoprase is said to be a soothing stone for those suffering from heartache. It can help to release emotional tension and stress, clarify problems, and works well with other stones by increasing the other stone's healing properties.
