10.63 Ct. Bluish Green Prasiolite from Brazil

Presenting an extraordinary 10.63 carat prasiolite, a refined treasure that captures an uncommon bluish green luminosity, cut to perfection in a majestic emerald cut. This gem measures 13.31 x 11.48 x 9.60 mm, and its faceted cutting style has been executed with an exacting hand to reveal crystalline clarity and an elegant table that invites contemplation. Transparent and radiant, the stone displays an intense color intensity that reads as both modern and timeless, a hue that speaks to a cultured eye and a confident sense of style. Originating from the storied deposits of Brazil, this prasiolite has been selected for its rare depth of tone and its exceptional presence, a piece that immediately elevates any collection. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this gem is offered to connoisseurs who require more than beauty, who seek provenance, craftsmanship, and a narrative of distinction in every facet.

The clarity of this stone is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a testament to the superior material chosen for this presentation. Under casual inspection the field is clean to the eye, permitting unimpeded transmission of light through the elongate planes of the emerald cut, where parallel facets cultivate a hall of mirrors effect and lend a noble architectural grace. The excellent polish completes the picture, creating a surface that sings with reflected brilliance and a tactile sense of luxury. The cutting has been optimized to enhance the bluish green character while preserving remarkable transparency, and the precise dimensions provide a stately profile that behaves beautifully in proportion to light and setting. This prasiolite has undergone a professional irradiation treatment to achieve its intense hue, a common and stable enhancement within the gem trade that accentuates the stone without compromising structural integrity. We at The Natural Gemstone Company ensure full disclosure of treatments, and we present this gem with the respect and clarity expected by discerning collectors.

On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness the prasiolite is quartz and rates at 7, a level that balances wearability with graceful resilience. To put this in context, diamond sits at 10, representing the ultimate resistance to scratching, and corundum varieties such as sapphire and ruby are 9, denoting exceptional toughness for daily wear. Topaz is typically 8, while many popular colored gems such as opal and turquoise are softer and require greater care. With a hardness of 7 this prasiolite offers a secure middle ground, standing more resistant to scratches and abrasion than many delicate stones, and well suited to rings, pendants, and bracelets when set thoughtfully. It is important to appreciate that hardness is one measure of durability and that toughness and cleavage also influence performance, yet with proper setting choices and attentive care this gem will retain its luminous presence for a lifetime. We recommend protective settings for high wear pieces, such as bezels or secure prongs, and advise against exposure to harsh blows and aggressive chemicals to preserve both color and polish.
