5.35 Ct. Yellowish Green Prasiolite from Brazil

This 5.35 carat oval prasiolite began its journey in the hard rock mines of Brazil, where careful field sorting focused on transparency and crystal integrity at the point of extraction. The rough material was selected for uniform tone and minimal veiling, then transported to our lapidary partners under controlled conditions to preserve clarity and reduce mechanical stress on the crystal lattice. Heat treatment was applied in a precisely monitored furnace to induce the stable yellowish green hue characteristic of quality prasiolite, a process overseen by experienced gem technicians to avoid overstressing the stone. Each step from mine to treatment to final inspection was documented by The Natural Gemstone Company, ensuring traceability and responsibility in sourcing, and guaranteeing that the finished gem meets our technical and ethical standards.

The finished stone is a transparent, oval shape measuring 12.08 x 10.47 x 7.64 mm, exhibiting a mixed brilliant faceting scheme designed to balance table dominated brilliance with strong pavilion refraction. The mixed brilliant cut employs a well proportioned crown with star and kite facets to distribute light across the table, and a pavilion with complementary sized facets to return light efficiently, creating lively scintillation and a pleasing interplay between yellow and green tones. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, with only minor inclusions that do not detract from face up appearance, and polish is assessed as excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and minimal surface interference. Color intensity is medium, offering a versatile yellowish green that responds well to both warm and cool settings, and the heat treated enhancement was applied to achieve color uniformity and stability. For setting recommendations, the stone s table spread and mixed brilliance make it ideal for solitaire rings or bezel accented pendants that showcase its oval outline and preserve brilliance under everyday wear.
