13.93 Ct. Mint Green Prasiolite from Brazil

From the sun warmed hills of Brazil to your hands, this mint green prasiolite carries a quiet story of earth and craftsmanship, narrated by every subtle line within its heart. Weighing 13.93 carats, with dimensions of 17.81 x 13.99 x 9.22 mm, this oval shaped treasure began life as quartz deep in Brazilian veins, where pressure and heat coaxed color into crystalline order. Our team at The Natural Gemstone Company selected this piece for its transparent, light green hue and its gentle, natural character. Heat treated to enhance its mint tone, it was then given a faceted finish in a mixed brilliant cut, bringing both scintillation and depth to the table, and finished with an excellent polish that allows light to dance across each facet with graceful ease.

What makes this stone unmistakable are the unique inclusions that read like a field journal of its formation, tiny signatures that no synthetic can truly reproduce. At very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, the prasiolite shows delicate needle like and feather like inclusions that catch the light as hairline ribbons, and minute liquid pockets that create tiny glints when the gem is turned. These features reveal pauses in growth, moments when mineral rich fluids whispered through the crystal lattice, leaving subtle traces that now act as a fingerprint. Growth zoning, faint and banded, tells of fluctuating conditions underground, and microscopic mineral platelets add a silvered shimmer that sets this stone apart. Together these inclusions give the gem a story and a soul, they confirm its natural origin, and they enhance the depth of its mint green when viewed in different lights. Imagine this prasiolite set in a ring or pendant, each inclusion catching a memory of Brazil, each facet polished to deliver serenity and sparkle. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that journey, and we present this prasiolite as a companion for someone who values nature written into the very heart of their jewelry.
