This transparent 5.06 carat round green prasiolite from Brazil offers a rare combination of size, clarity, and cutting quality that stands apart from other green gems on the market, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present it. At 11.31 x 11.32 x 7.24 mm the stone reads as a substantial centerpiece, and the mixed brilliant cut with faceting designed for both scintillation and light return produces a lively play of facets. With an eye clean clarity grade evaluated at eye level and an excellent polish, this prasiolite gives uncluttered brilliance that many natural green gems cannot match without significant premium. Compared with emeralds this stone delivers greater apparent clarity for everyday wear at a fraction of the price. Compared with peridot it shows cooler, more jewel like green tones and fewer inclusions. Compared with green tourmaline this prasiolite offers superb value and a clean, bright appearance that translates easily into rings and pendants.
How the gem performs under different lighting conditions is a key part of its appeal. In bright daylight and direct sun the mixed brilliant cut fans light across the crown, showing crisp flashes of medium intensity green and a lively internal reflection that makes the center appear almost illuminated. Under warm incandescent or halogen lighting the green warms subtly, yielding a richer, slightly yellowish green that still retains its clarity and sparkle. Under neutral LED and office lighting the stone maintains a balanced, true green with lively facet contrast, while in low light the excellent polish and facet symmetry preserve a controlled sparkle so the gem reads as elegant rather than dull. The heat treated enhancement is a stable, standard treatment that produces this attractive green from Brazilian material without compromising durability, and the hardness of seven on the Mohs scale gives dependable wearability in everyday jewelry. If you want a large, eye clean, well cut green gem that competes with higher priced alternatives in clarity and visual impact, this 5.06 carat Brazilian prasiolite from The Natural Gemstone Company is a superior choice.
