6.17 Ct. Bluish Green Prasiolite from Brazil

This prasiolite is a beautiful transparent 6.17 carat round stone, measuring 11.74 by 11.70 by 8.37 mm, with a bluish green hue that reads as intense in color. It is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut designed to balance scintillation and color saturation, and the excellent polish enhances light return and surface crispness. At eye level the clarity is graded as eye clean, which means no inclusions are visible to the unaided eye and the gem presents a pure, uninterrupted field of color and sparkle. The cutting proportions and the generous table created by the 11.74 by 11.70 mm dimensions contribute to an impressive face up presence, making this piece immediately eye catching when set. The stone has undergone irradiation enhancement, a stable and commonly accepted treatment for prasiolite, and the origin is Brazil, a well known source for quality green and bluish green quartz. With a hardness of approximately 7 on the Mohs scale, prasiolite offers a favorable balance of durability and wearability for rings, pendants, and other statement pieces when set with appropriate protection.

For an educated buyer, several factors make this gemstone particularly valuable and suited to a statement piece, and at The Natural Gemstone Company we are committed to transparent, factual presentation. The combination of a substantial 6.17 carat weight and an eye clean clarity is rare for prasiolite at this size, and the intense color intensity means the stone reads boldly against metal and skin tones. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes brilliance while preserving color depth, and the excellent polish ensures consistent light performance across the crown and pavilion. The 11.74 by 11.70 mm diameter is ideal for a central setting that commands attention, whether mounted in a classic prong setting to maximize light or in a protective bezel for everyday wear. Origin from Brazil adds provenance and traceability, and the documented irradiation treatment is stable and accepted in the trade, with full disclosure provided by The Natural Gemstone Company. If you seek a statement gemstone that pairs optical performance, provenance, and practical durability, this bluish green prasiolite is a compelling, well documented choice.
