This prasiolite has been heat treated to achieve a consistent, attractive green, and the origin from Brazil speaks to its natural appeal and availability in well cut, collector worthy material.

Beyond its striking appearance, this prasiolite is built to be worn with confidence every day, it is a variety of quartz with a Mohs hardness of 7 which offers excellent resistance to scratches compared with common softer gems, quartz also lacks true cleavage which reduces the risk of splitting from normal knocks, and the emerald cut with its step facets and trimmed corners further reduces vulnerability to edge chipping, the heat treatment used to enhance color is stable under normal wear and routine cleaning. For daily pieces we recommend secure settings such as a bezel or four corner prong setting to protect the girdle and corners, avoid extreme thermal shock and strong chemicals, and clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush to preserve polish and color.
