This transparent 10.31 carat green prasiolite from Brazil measures 16.00 x 14.09 x 10.03 mm and is fashioned in a fancy shape with a mixed brilliant cut. The gem displays a medium light green color intensity that reads as a fresh sage to apple hue under varied lighting, and it has been heat treated to attain its stable and even tone. Clarity is graded as eye clean at normal viewing distance, and the pavilion and crown facets exhibit an excellent polish that maximizes internal brilliance. Faceting has been executed to emphasize both depth and surface sparkle, producing a crisp play of light across the table and along the hexagonal silhouette, qualities that make the stone well suited for a centerpiece in ring, pendant, or custom designer settings. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this prasiolite as a laboratory evaluated, responsibly sourced specimen with clear documentation of enhancement and origin.
The most distinguishing characteristic of this prasiolite is the array of internal features that create an unmistakable signature when the stone is examined under light. Subtle growth zoning produces gentle banding that aligns with the pavilion geometry, and delicate wispy growth patterns are visible at magnification, giving a soft, organic texture to the interior planes. Scattered microscopic reflective platelets and minute, eye invisible mineral inclusions act as additional focal points, catching and scattering light to form a soft star like or floral motif when viewed through the mixed brilliant arrangement of facets. These natural internal features contribute to a sense of depth and movement that is not attainable in fully inclusion free synthesized material, and they serve as internal fingerprints that attest to the gem origin and treatment history. Because the stone remains eye clean, these inclusions enhance character without compromising visual clarity, delivering a rare combination of clean presentation and distinctive internal personality that collectors and designers value.
