Prasiolite - also known as Green Amethyst Prasiolite, sometimes also referred to as green amethyst, is a rare green Quartz valued for its delicate to fresh green hue and elegant appearance. Natural prasiolite is only found in limited quantities, making it one of the less common varieties of Quartz. Rarity and origin of prasiolite Although prasiolite occurs naturally, most of the stones available on the market have been created through heat treatment of Amethyst or Citrine, which changes their color to the characteristic green tones. From a mineralogical perspective, it is still a Quartz, whose attractive green coloration makes it popular among collectors and in jewelry making. Properties and use Thanks to its hardness of approximately 7 on the Mohs scale, prasiolite is suitable for use in jewelry. Faceted stones are distinguished by their brilliance and clean appearance, making them popular among collectors and gemstone enthusiasts. Faceted prasiolite is an interesting choice for those looking for a less common gemstone. It is suitable for collections, as an original gift, or for setting in custom jewelry.
