5.63 Ct. Green Prasiolite from Brazil

This transparent 5.63 carat round green prasiolite measures 11.52 x 11.69 x 7.65 mm, cut as a faceted gem with a mixed brilliant cut. It is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, and displays medium color intensity with an excellent polish. The stone has been heat treated to achieve its consistent green hue, and its origin is Brazil. The combination of a well executed mixed brilliant cutting style and the generous table and depth proportions create strong light return, balanced dispersion, and a lively face up appearance that maximizes the natural clarity and color saturation of the prasiolite.

The vivid green of this prasiolite will stand out in any jewelry setting, from a refined solitaire ring to an elegant pendant, from dramatic cluster compositions to minimalist stud earrings. The medium color intensity provides enough saturation to read clearly in both white and warm metal settings, while the transparent body color allows for sophisticated interplay between pavilion reflections and crown facets, creating scintillation and depth. At 5.63 carats and with dimensions that sit comfortably for both statement and classic designs, the gem balances presence with wearability. Practical considerations include customary care for heat treated quartz material, avoid sudden temperature extremes and aggressive household chemicals, and verify secure settings to protect the facet edges. The Natural Gemstone Company offers full measurement and treatment disclosure, and this prasiolite is supplied with photographic references to assist with design planning and setting choices.

From a lapidary perspective, the mixed brilliant faceting on this round prasiolite optimizes the balance between scintillation and color distribution, the crown facet arrangement yields attractive table reflections that emphasize the central green, while the pavilion facets enhance depth and create attractive contrast under varied lighting. When designing settings consider bezel as a protective option for daily wear, and prong settings to maximize face up brilliance. The gem pairs well with white gold, platinum, and yellow gold depending on the desired visual temperature, and it is also suitable for accent stones and halo designs to amplify presence without obscuring the distinct green character. The Natural Gemstone Company maintains transparent treatment disclosure and provides high resolution imagery to assist jewelers and designers with exact evaluation prior to setting.
