When you are searching for a gemstone that answers both the eye and the heart, you want a piece that feels like the final answer the moment you see it. This transparent 7.26 carat asscher octagon shape green prasiolite from The Natural Gemstone Company is designed to do exactly that. It meets the needs of someone seeking an unforgettable engagement stone, a collector requiring a rare and elegant specimen, or a designer looking for a centerpiece that combines classic geometry with lively green color. Its size, presence, and refined asscher faceting create immediate visual impact, and its provenance from Madagascar adds the calm of responsible sourcing and a story to tell. If you want a single gem that closes the loop on your search, that fits into a range of settings from a minimalist solitaire to a richly detailed vintage mount, this prasiolite is the solution you have been seeking.
Examine the details and you will understand why this gem stands apart. The prasiolite weighs 7.26 carat and measures 13.00 by 11.86 by 7.99 millimeters, a generous and wearable proportion for rings, pendants, and bespoke designs. It is cut in an asscher style within an octagonal outline, a step cut that emphasizes symmetry, depth, and a distinct hall of mirrors effect. The stone is transparent, with a clarity grade described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, so it presents a clean, open face that is flattering to the asscher geometry. Color intensity is medium and shows a pure, verdant green that reads elegant rather than garish. The polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and clean reflective planes that maximize the prasiolite s internal beauty. The gem has been heat treated, a stable and accepted enhancement that refines hue and clarity without compromising integrity, and its origin is Madagascar, known for producing gemstones with vibrant, characterful color.
How a gemstone performs under light is crucial, and this prasiolite behaves beautifully across environments. In bright natural daylight, particularly in the cool light of an overcast day, the medium intense green appears luminous and true, the step facets throwing broad flashes that emphasize depth rather than scattered scintillation. In direct warm sunlight, such as a morning or afternoon sunbeam, the green warms slightly and the asscher cut produces a layered interplay of light and shadow, so the gem looks lively and dimensional as you move. Under indoor incandescent or candlelight the green softens and takes on a warmer, richer tone, the facets catching pools of warm reflection that create an intimate and classic appearance. Modern LED lighting, which ranges from cool to warm, interacts well with this prasiolite, often highlighting the clarity and the crisp polish, while fluorescent lighting can emphasize the cooler green tones and the stone s transparency. Because the asscher cut relies on step facets rather than a brilliant cut s crown facets, the brilliance is elegant and architectural, presenting broad flashes and a depth effect that reads as sophisticated in formal settings, and as vivid and bold in casual light.
For customers who need reassurance that their choice will be versatile and timeless, this prasiolite answers both practical and emotional needs. Its substantial 7.26 carat weight and the balanced dimensions make it suitable for an engagement ring that must feel present without overwhelming the hand, or for a pendant that becomes a personal talisman. The very slightly included clarity grade encourages settings that protect the girdle and pavilion without masking the stone s open face, and the excellent polish ensures that metal settings will reflect off the clean facet planes to complement the green rather than compete with it. Because the stone has been heat treated, you can expect stable color over time when set and worn under normal conditions, and the Madagascar origin provides a provenance that collectors and gift buyers value. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the authenticity and care taken with each gem, and we are ready to assist with setting recommendations, custom design consultations, and certification details to ensure that your purchase is a final and satisfying answer to your search.
