This one beautiful transparent 4.66 carat round shape prasiolite measures 11.36 x 10.86 x 6.96 mm, and has been expertly faceted with a mixed brilliant cut to deliver a lively mix of scintillation and depth. The gem displays a medium color intensity that reads as an inviting, versatile green, and the cutting style is optimized to balance brilliance and color dispersion.

The mixed brilliant cut maximizes face up brilliance and delivers pleasing symmetry, making it ideal for a solitaire, halo, or three stone design. Collectors who value gemstones with clear origins will appreciate the Brazilian provenance, and those who want a stone that is both beautiful and practical will find the medium color intensity and very very slightly included clarity attractive because they combine visual appeal with good value. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that customers want assurance that a gem will suit its intended purpose, and this prasiolite is presented with full details so you can decide with confidence.

Durability is an important factor when choosing a gemstone for everyday wear, and prasiolite holds up well relative to many popular gems. Prasiolite is a variety of quartz, and quartz rates a 7 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. To put that in context, diamond is a 10, corundum varieties such as sapphire and ruby are a 9, topaz is an 8, and common softer gems like opal and some feldspars fall below 7. This means a prasiolite at hardness 7 resists scratches from most household materials and will maintain its polish and facet edges under normal wear, but it is not as impervious to abrasion as sapphire or diamond. For engagement rings or bracelets that face the rigors of everyday activity, we recommend protective settings such as bezels or partial bezels, and careful consideration of prongs that are set strong and secure. The heat treatment used to produce the green color in this stone is a standard, stable enhancement for prasiolite, but like many colored gemstones it should be protected from prolonged exposure to intense heat or harsh chemicals, which can affect color over time. For routine cleaning, warm soapy water and a soft brush are recommended, and while quartz generally tolerates ultrasonic cleaners, the prudent choice is gentle cleaning methods to protect the integrity of the color and any connected settings.

Choosing this prasiolite from The Natural Gemstone Company means you receive thorough information and thoughtful guidance to make the right decision. The stone’s transparent nature, excellent polish, and mixed brilliant cut work together to deliver a lively, eye catching presentation, while its 4.66 carat weight and rounded dimensions give a satisfying scale for many jewelry styles.
