Description
Green Amethyst, commonly known in the gem trade as Prasiolite, is a green variety of quartz. Despite the name “Green Amethyst,” the material is technically green quartz; amethyst is the purple variety of quartz. Prasiolite is relatively uncommon in nature, and much of the material available in jewellery has been produced by heat treatment of suitable quartz or amethyst.
Its colour can range from very pale green and mint green to soft yellow-green, depending on the material and treatment. The gentle green colour gives a Green Amethyst Necklace a refined, fresh, and contemporary appearance.
In traditional crystal and gemstone practices, Prasiolite is associated with harmony, emotional balance, personal growth, intuition, compassion, and positive transformation. It is often chosen by people who appreciate a gemstone symbolising renewal and inner development.
