Green amethyst refers to a light green and transparent gemstone belonging to the mineral family of Quartz. It is also known as Vermarine, lime citrine, and more commonly Prasiolite, which is a more apt name for the green form of amethyst.
Green Amethyst is a gemstone with an extraordinary luster as well as transparency. Available in different cuts such as step, drop mixed, and oval; the stone’s characteristic is its color distribution in the form of striking patches and bands.
Meaning
The name Prasiolite is a result of merging two Greek words, prason and lithos. The former means leek green due to the color that resembles the color of the plant of the same name. The latter word means stones.
Where does Green Amethyst come from
As this gemstone rarely occurs naturally, only a few mines on the planet have its deposits. These deposits of amethyst can be easily converted into Prasiolite upon heating. Most of the green amethyst comes by heating the Montezuma deposits in Brazil’s Minas Gerais. Other deposits in use are in India and Susanville, California. Apart from that, amethyst deposits exist Zambia, Tanzania, Namibia, Canada, and Poland.
Color
distinguishes green amethyst from its purple equivalent. Thus, it is the major factor that affects the stone’s price. The color depth and color distribution define the value. Usually, a deeper and brighter hue means more price. We offer 3 type of color which are
GA-1 , GA-2 , GA-3..
Origin
the pure and natural form is always available at a higher premium, such as those Brazilian and Indian green amethyst stones. The natural forms feature fine color and clarity. The Brazilian and Indian stones are always in demand due to their pure natural form. At times, some of them are slightly heated.
Clarity
means no eye-visible imperfections. A highly transparent green amethyst stone obviously has more value. We always offer 100% clean Cleraity in this gemstone.
Cut's
usually Well-defined classic cuts tend to conceal the flaws and improve the color as well as brilliance. However, the reduction of weight as a result of the cutting process actually decides the price. Usually, oval and round shapes are cheaper than the green amethyst stones of other shapes such as fancy checkerboard and cushion cuts etc.
