This prasiolite presents as a transparent, oval shaped gem weighing 5.35 carat, with measurements of 12.82 x 10.54 x 6.86 mm, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. The yellowish green hue is intense and even across the pavilion and crown, providing a fresh green tone with warm yellow undertones that read vibrantly in natural daylight. The cutting style is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, a design chosen to balance weight retention and light performance. The stone is eye clean when examined at eye level, and it has been heat treated to achieve and stabilize the current color. The polish is excellent, with smooth facet junctions that contribute to the gem clarity and sparkle, and the material originates from Brazil, a source known for producing high quality prasiolite specimens.
The exceptional mixed brilliant cut and the precise faceting are the primary contributors to the notable brilliance observed in this piece, making it a centerpiece in any collection. The crown and pavilion facet angles have been calibrated to return light efficiently, producing lively flash and scintillation across a variety of lighting conditions. The oval outline provides an elongated, classic silhouette that enhances apparent size and provides a pleasing balance between depth and surface area. Light enters cleanly through the table, disperses across the internal facet architecture, and returns with balanced brightness and color saturation, a result of both the cutter skill and the eye clean clarity grade. The excellent polish further enhances surface reflectivity, allowing the internal light return to remain unimpeded by surface haze or abrasion.
From a practical perspective this prasiolite is well suited to a range of jewelry applications, including center stones for rings, pendants, and brooches. With a Mohs hardness of seven prasiolite offers good resistance to everyday wear when set appropriately, though care is recommended for hard impacts and harsh chemical exposure. The dimensions 12.82 x 10.54 x 6.86 mm place this gem in a size range that sits prominently on a finger without appearing oversized, and the oval shape adapts well to bezel, prong, and halo settings. The warm yellowish green color complements yellow gold and rose gold settings for a blended tonal effect, and it offers a fresh contrast with white metals for a more modern presentation. Because the stone has been heat treated to produce its intense color the tone is stable under normal wearing conditions, and we recommend standard care practices such as removing the piece during rough activity and avoiding exposure to strong acids or extreme heat sources beyond typical consumer use.
Provenance from Brazil is reflected in the gem character and crystal structure, and The Natural Gemstone Company includes a detailed description of the stone including weight, dimensions, cut style, clarity observations, polish, enhancement treatment, and origin to assist with appraisal and design decisions. For collectors and designers seeking a visually assertive yet refined gemstone this prasiolite offers an exceptional combination of color intensity and optical performance. The Natural Gemstone Company can provide additional imagery and measurements upon request, and can coordinate bespoke mounting and setting recommendations to preserve the gem proportions and to maximize the display of brilliance, making this prasiolite a lasting focal point in a curated collection.
