Once Popular Stone

One Of the greatest sensations Of
the year among jewelers. and precious
stone dealers In the United States has
been caused by the discovry Of valu-
able chrysoprase mines In Tulare coun-
ty. California. This stone has been
practically lost to.sShe world for cen
turies. The remarkable history OF Its
rise and fall in popularity Is an old
world legend.
From occupying an honoreh place
among the precious stones tmbedded
In the foundation of the wall around
old Jerusalem. it came down during
the past century to the humble func-
ton of forming head for the hat
pins of charwomen. Following Its
popularity in Egypt and Jerusalem It
sank, for some reason or other. into
oblivion, until the time of Frederick
the Great. who himself mined it and
encouraged search for it in Lower
Silesia. The impetus given to the
popularity OF the stone at that time
was not long-iived, lasting little more
than century, and it's use in costly
articles of jewel& was soon almost
unknown. It's sudden jump again this
season at the jewelry bedecled world
as rival of the emerald has therefore
caused a sensation in the precious
stone trade, and that it will become a
