    Chrysoprase Leaf
    by Gail Stefanek Gemstone Carver

    Chrysoprase is a rare, apple-green to deep-green variety of chalcedony (cryptocrystalline quartz) colored by trace nickel, making it one of the most prized gemstones in its class. Valued for its vibrant hue, it ranks 6.5–7 on the Mohs hardness scale and is primarily sourced from Australia. Historically treasured by rulers and nobility, chrysoprase is believed to inspire joy, emotional healing, and optimism. Perfect for fine jewelry and collectors seeking a distinctive, meaningful stone.

    “Every stone carries its own story. My job is simply to reveal it.”

    Gemstone Carver Gail Stefanek

    Born on Vancouver Island, Canadian artist Gail Stefanek has spent over twenty years carving gemstones into elegant, wearable sculptural forms. Inspired early on by friend and mentor Thomas McPhee, she creates pieces guided by the natural contours of each crystal. Her work also incorporates Precious Metal Clay, valued for its ability to form seamless, fluid shapes that complement the organic beauty of her stones.

    Artist Statement

    “The natural shape of each crystal guides my carving. I begin by studying the stone—its contours, colour, texture—and let those qualities determine the form. Precious Metal Clay allows me to create fluid, seamless settings that complement rather than dominate the gemstone. My goal is to enhance what is already beautiful and let the material speak for itself.”
