A rare, golden or honey-colored variety of the gemstone opal.
From Greek 'chrysos' (gold) combined with 'opal', a gemstone whose name comes from Sanskrit. This type of opal was named to reflect its warm, golden appearance similar to amber or precious metals.
Chrysopal is like nature's own trick: it looks like golden metal or amber, but it's actually silica with trapped water molecules that make it shimmer—the water can actually evaporate over time, making old chrysopal less bright!
