6.28 Ct. Yellowish Green Prasiolite from Brazil

This is a beautiful transparent prasiolite from Brazil, weighing 6.28 carats, oval in shape and faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, dimensions 13.23 by 11.07 by 7.65 mm. The mixed brilliant design combines a faceted crown and pavilion geometry to maximize scintillation and depth of color, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and lively light return. The clarity is graded very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which in practical terms means the stone appears eye clean and free of visible inclusions to the naked eye, a notable quality at this size. The color is a yellowish green with medium intensity, a hue that reflects the typical warm green tones produced by controlled heat treatment, and the enhancement is disclosed as heat treated, a stable and commonly accepted process for prasiolite that transforms natural quartz material into a pleasing green. For an educated buyer this piece presents a strong combination of size, transparency, and optical performance, with Brazilian origin adding provenance from a region known for well formed quartz crystals. With a Mohs hardness of about 7 prasiolite is suitable for a variety of jewelry, though protective setting choices are recommended for everyday wear to preserve polish and facet integrity.

For custom work this prasiolite will pair exquisitely with a range of complementary gems and metals, allowing designers to emphasize either contrast or harmony. Set in 18k yellow gold the stone’s yellowish green warmth will be enhanced, while white gold or platinum will create a crisper, more contemporary look and allow the green to read cooler. A halo of small white diamonds will increase perceived brilliance and brightness, offering a classic cocktail or engagement style, whereas a surround of warm champagne diamonds or small spessartite garnets will intensify the golden undertone for a vintage inspired palette. For tonal harmony consider accent gems such as tsavorite garnet or green tourmaline, or for soft contrast add morganite or pink sapphire for an elegant feminine pairing. Design suggestions include a secure four prong solitaire, a low bezel for active wear, or an open back pendant to maximize light entry through the pavilion. The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to present this responsibly sourced Brazilian prasiolite, and we are available to advise on metal choice, accent stones, and setting styles to achieve a finished piece that balances beauty, durability, and long term appeal.
