It has been known since ancient times and was a favorite stone of Alexander the Great who attributed his success in battles to the Chrysoprase beaded girdle he wore. The Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians used it to make seals, signets, jewelry, and other ornamental objects because of its beautiful apple green color. In Medieval Europe, it was worn to attract money and ward off nightmares. Legend has it that thieves would use Chrysoprase to make themselves invisible.
