Across centuries and cultures green gemstones have been treasured as emblems of renewal, prosperity, and enduring beauty. This cushion shaped mint green prasiolite recalls that long lineage while offering a fresh and subtle expression of color that is both refined and timeless.

Whether set in a classical ring, a noble pendant, or a collector cabinet, this gem carries with it the quiet authority of a heritage stone that will sit naturally alongside emeralds, aquamarines, and other storied gems within a curated collection.

The gem details underline why this example belongs in a high end assemblage, weighing 12.01 carats and measuring 14.28 x 14.18 x 8.62 millimeters in a generous cushion silhouette. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the faceting pattern marries the depth and soft curves of the cushion form with the scintillating light return of brilliant facets, producing lively fire and an even play of light across the pavilion and crown. The stone is transparent and eye clean when evaluated at eye level, a clarity grade that allows the mint color and internal light reflections to be admired without distraction. Color intensity is described as light, a refined tone that reads as elegant and versatile, and the polish is excellent, giving each facet a crisp, mirror like finish. Sourced from Brazil, a nation with a deeply rooted gemstone history, the stone has been heat treated, an established and disclosed enhancement used to bring forth the prasiolite green that collectors now prize.
