Prasiolite, green-quartz or vermarine is a
green-colored form of quartz, usually produced by
artificially heat-treating amethyst. Since 1950,
almost all has come from one small mine in Brazil.
Natural prasiolite has also been observed in Lower
Silesia in Poland.
Prasiolite is a gem with which one can really be
confused. It is traded with variety of names and
sometimes mistaken with expensive gems like Green
Beryl, Peridot and Tourmaline. The green |

variety is also named as Vermarine, Lime Citrine
or Green Amethyst. Inexpensive, but a true collector's
gemstone.
The name,
prasiolite has been derived from the Greek words "Prason"
and "Lithos," which mean 'leek,' due to color
similarities with vegetables, and 'stone'
simultaneously. It is believed that prasiolite
facilitates the gap between the physical and spiritual
aspects of life. It attracts prosperity through
strengthening the mind, emotions and will.
The color of prasiolite varies from pale yellow green to
that with the deeper shades of green. This stone is
ideal for everyday wear and it is perfect for a wide
variety of applications. It is mined in Brazil and
Arizona (USA). The hardness of prasiolite is 7 on Mohs
scale. |
