Description
Résumé:Abstract The genesis and influencing factors of the colour of chrysoprase were studied based on the results of transmission electron microscopy and X-ray fluorescence, ultraviolet–visible and Raman spectroscopies. The results show that under a 6504-K fluorescent lamp, chrysoprase colour is divided into the grades of fancy, fancy intense and fancy deep. The lightness of chrysoprase is affected mainly by its chromium content, the chroma is affected by its nickel content and the hue angle is affected by the sum of its chromium and ferrum contents. The colour of chrysoprase is related significantly to the transmission window that occurs between the two main bands centred at 380 and 660 nm and the absorption peaks at 380 and 660 nm in the ultraviolet–visible spectrum. Chrysoprase with low crystallinity has more nickel and a higher chroma. The inclusions that cause the chrysoprase colour have been identified as pimelite.
