7.40 Ct. Bluish Green Prasiolite from Brazil

This 7.40 carat bluish green prasiolite, cut in a classic Asscher-octagon form, carries with it the quiet dignity of gemstones that have been cherished across centuries. The Asscher cut, born in the early 20th century and beloved through the Art Deco era for its stepped pavilion and mirror-like symmetry, imparts a timeless geometry to this stone, recalling the formality of antique signet gems and the refined lines of period jewelry. Measured at 12.53 by 12.26 by 7.36 millimeters, faceted to exacting proportions and finished with an excellent polish, the gem presents a medium color intensity that glows with a cool bluish green, a hue that historically stood alongside emerald and peridot in collections that prized verdant tones for their association with renewal and taste. Evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, the clarity of this prasiolite offers both visual purity and the subtle, honest character familiar to collectors of genuine vintage specimens.

Hailing from Brazil and gently enhanced by irradiation to achieve its evocative color, this prasiolite is offered with full disclosure of treatment and provenance by The Natural Gemstone Company, whose attention to heritage and craftsmanship ensures each offering is suited to heirloom jewellery and bespoke commissions.

As with the polished gems once set into the jewelry of noble houses, this prasiolite invites careful mounting and considered wear, promising to become a piece of personal legacy. For collectors and connoisseurs seeking a gemstone that bridges traditional craftsmanship and contemporary clarity, this Brazilian prasiolite embodies a story of artisanal cutting, enduring design, and the quiet prestige of a gem fit to be passed through generations.
