10.98 Ct. Bluish Green Prasiolite from Brazil

Imagine the gentle hush of the ocean, the first soft light of morning cradled in a single jewel, a bluish green oval prasiolite that seems to hold a calm promise within its heart. This transparent 10.98 carat treasure measures 19.08 by 13.27 by 7.27 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut breathes life into every facet, scattering light with a serene brilliance. The light color intensity is delicate and luminous, a whisper of aquamarine tones that invites compliments and quiet admiration. When you slip this stone into a setting, you are not merely wearing a gem, you are carrying an intention, a moment of joy to be felt every time your hand turns. The very, very slightly included clarity graded at eye level ensures purity and sparkle, while the excellent polish gives the surface a glassy, mirror like finish that catches and returns light like a small, joyous secret. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select each prasiolite for its beauty and its ability to become a daily companion, and this piece is one of those rare gemstones that balances presence and subtlety with effortless grace.

Beyond its ethereal color and masterful cut, this prasiolite brings reassuring durability that makes it perfect for daily wear in jewelry. Prasiolite is a green variety of quartz, and quartz has a hardness of seven on the Mohs scale, which means it resists scratches from everyday materials and keeps its polished look through routine life. While it is softer than sapphire or diamond, it is significantly tougher than many delicate stones, making it an excellent choice for rings, pendants, and bracelets that are worn often. This particular gem has been professionally heat treated to achieve its beautiful bluish green hue, a stable enhancement that does not fade with normal wear when treated with care. The excellent polish and skilled mixed brilliant faceting add to its resilience by creating fewer surface abrasions during cleaning and handling, and the very, very slightly included clarity indicates internal structure that is stable, rather than fragile. When you choose this prasiolite, you are selecting a gem that stands up admirably to the rhythms of everyday life, while continuing to reflect the moments of laughter, conversation, and quiet reflection that make each day memorable.

Because we understand that a gemstone must not only be beautiful, but also practical, we recommend settings and care that enhance both its longevity and your enjoyment. For rings and pieces that will see frequent wear, a bezel setting or a low profile prong setting offers protection to the girdle and edge, reducing the chance of chips or snags, while still allowing light to play through the mixed brilliant cut. The gem’s size and oval shape at 19.08 by 13.27 by 7.27 mm make it an ideal centerpiece for an elegant cocktail ring, a striking pendant, or a statement pair of earrings that will catch the eye without overwhelming your wardrobe. For daily cleaning, a gentle bath of warm soapy water and a soft brush will return the stone to its radiant best, and it is wise to avoid strong acids, household bleach, and prolonged exposure to extreme temperature changes to maintain the integrity of the heat treated color. While many quartz varieties tolerate ultrasonic cleaners, because this stone is evaluated as having very, very slight inclusions at eye level, we recommend hand cleaning for peace of mind, preserving the light filled clarity and the excellent polish that make this prasiolite so special.

This prasiolite comes to you from Brazil, a region celebrated for producing some of the finest green quartz specimens in the world, and it carries with it a story of earth and time that becomes part of your own narrative. At The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish that connection, and we carefully certify each detail so you may give this gem with confidence, whether you are celebrating a milestone, creating an heirloom, or simply choosing a jewel that will brighten ordinary days. Visualize the joy of giving this radiant 10.98 carat bluish green prasiolite to someone who treasures sincere, elegant beauty, imagine the warmth of seeing it sparkle on a loved one’s hand or at the throat close to the heartbeat. This is a gem that invites smiles, inspires compliments, and rewards every look with a memory.
