5.00ct Prasiolite Oval Cut Gemstone

This natural 5.00ct Prasiolite has been expertly faceted into a classic oval cut, enhancing its soft mint-green color with outstanding brilliance and elegance. Also known as Green Amethyst, Prasiolite is a rare green variety of quartz that forms when certain amethyst crystals are naturally heated by volcanic activity or carefully heat-treated to reveal their beautiful green hue. Its name is derived from the Greek words prason, meaning "leek," and lithos, meaning "stone." Although uncommon in nature, Prasiolite has become highly prized for its refreshing color, remarkable clarity, and sophisticated appearance.
