Chrysoprase is mined most extensively in a Dwarven
encampment outside Ta'Ardenai, but it is also located throughout the
northern steppes and north of Ta'Illistim.
Green-colored stones of many kinds are associated with Imaera, and
chrysoprase is no exception, though its magical affinities seal the
matter. Chrysoprase has an affinity that enhances spiritual magics,
particularly those dealing with forest spirits, grassland spirits,
or other spirits tied to plants. Chrysoprase is extensively used in
Ta'Ardenai to honor the Arkati Imaera, the House's most esteemed
patron.
Although chrysoprase cannot be mined in the duchy
of Aldora, it is extensively imported. The traditional practice of
healing patients through application of various gems (called
stone-tending) is practiced extensively in Aldora, and chrysoprase
is noted as a sovereign remedy for pain. |
