10.48 Ct. Green Prasiolite from Brazil

One extraordinary transparent 10.48 carat asscher octagon shape green prasiolite awaits a discerning collector, from The Natural Gemstone Company. This gem measures 12.34 by 12.30 by 10.15 mm, and is faceted with a classic asscher cut that celebrates geometry and light, creating a refined hall of mirrors effect across its pavilion and crown. Graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the clarity of this prasiolite allows exceptional light passage, while an excellent polish amplifies every facet interaction. The medium color intensity reveals a lush, verdant green that is both vibrant and sophisticated, a green born of Brazilian origins and stabilized through professional heat treatment to deliver consistent tone and tone depth. At over ten carats, this prasiolite is a rare offering, large enough to anchor a bespoke ring or pendant, and distinctly suited to a collector or client seeking a statement that is genuinely limited in availability.

When compared to more common green gemstones, this prasiolite stands apart in how it handles light and presence. Unlike many emeralds which often carry dense inclusions that diffuse sparkle, this asscher cut prasiolite returns crisp, controlled flashes and broad luminous planes that read as deep brilliance from a distance, and as intricate light play at closer inspection. Against peridot and typical green tourmalines, this specimen offers a more refined saturation and a cooler, museum quality green that does not lean yellow, delivering a balance between color richness and light transmission that enhances perceived brilliance. The asscher faceting style differs from brilliant cuts by favoring step facets that create dramatic flashes and elegant symmetry, making clarity and polish paramount, both of which this stone possesses. For clients who appreciate exclusivity, this prasiolite is for an elite few who value rarity, provenance, and cutting excellence, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present it as a singular selection for bespoke jewelry creation.
