Chrysoprase
Chrysoprase, chrysophrase or chrysoprasus is a gemstone variety of chalcedony (a cryptocrystalline form of silica) that contains small quantities of nickel. Its color is normally apple-green, but varies to deep green. The darker varieties of chrysoprase are also referred to as prase. (However, the term prase is also used to describe chlorite-included quartz, and to a certain extent is a color-descriptor, rather than a rigorously defined mineral variety.)
Chrysoprase is cryptocrystalline, which means that it is composed of crystals so fine that they cannot be seen as distinct particles under normal magnification. This sets it apart from rock crystal, amethyst, citrine, and the other varieties of crystalline quartz. Other members of the cryptocrystalline silica family include agate, carnelian, and onyx. Unlike many non-transparent silica minerals, it is the color of chrysoprase, rather than any pattern of markings, that makes it desirable. The word chrysoprase comes from the Greek χρυσός chrysos meaning 'gold' and πράσινον prasinon, meaning 'green'.

Crazy Praise
by: Karen Clark-Sheard(Verse 1)
Take a look in the mirror
and evaluate yourself
Think about where you been, are
your life strength and health
hello
did you hear me?
you need to get up outta that seat
as we celebrate his name in praise
Jesus, think about the ways he's made
(Vamp)
Through danger, seen and unseen
you've kept me from
from harmful things, ooooo
and to show my gratitude to you
imma get my dance dance dance on
(Chorus)
Jump, if you feel you need to
Dance, take advantage of this chance
Stomp ya feet and throw your hands
way up
Shout, let everthing that has breath
take your time and express yourself
felt the spirit its time to send some
praise up
(Verse 2)
Take a look at your temple,
is it sanctified inside?
Has your heart had a cleaning real good
Has your soul been revived?
