Unlike emeralds, which get their colour from the presence of chromium, chrysoprase gets its bright spring green from trace amounts of nickel. Because of its vivid colour, the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians used chrysoprase to make seals, signets, jewellery, and other ornamental objects. The modern term is derived from the literal Greek translations chrusos, which means golden, and prason, which means leek, indicating the stone's golden-leek green colour. Alexander III, an ancient Greek king of Macedonia, was one of the most successful, undefeated military commanders in Greek history. A strange story regarding a chrysoprase stone reputed to have been worn by Alexander is related by a Dominican friar named Albertus Magnus. According to Magnus, Alexander always wore a girdle embedded with a bright chrysoprase stone into battle. After a successful campaign in India, he abandoned his girdle to bathe in the Euphrates River. A serpent came along and bit off the stone, dropping it into the water while the girdle lay unattended. After losing this valuable talisman, Alexander III did not win another campaign. The well-known Art Nouveau period, which celebrated exotic sensuality and romanticism, came to life in prolific glory following the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in the early 1920s. During the Nouveau era, chrysoprase was widely used in Egyptian revival jewellery that resembled the vast treasures of the newly discovered pharaoh's tomb.
