About Prasiolite
Prasiolite is the green variety of quartz, sometimes marketed as green amethyst although that name is discouraged. Its colour is a soft, slightly yellowish green. Most material is produced by heating or irradiating amethyst from specific localities. You can read more via gemmological reference.
Natural prasiolite is rare and has been reported from a small number of deposits. The green colour reflects iron in a different oxidation state to that responsible for amethyst purple.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly do I receive in this parcel?
You receive the whole lot pictured: 75.9 grams of natural Prasiolite rough, with individual stones between 2.4 to 6.5 grams. The parcel is not split and the stones are not sold separately.
What jewellery styles suit these rough stones?
Wire wrapping is ideal for securing raw, uncut material without altering its natural shape. Alternatively, lapidary artists can slab and shape the rough into custom cabochons for pendants and brooches.
How durable is this material for daily wear?
As a variety of quartz, this material holds up well against normal abrasion and daily handling. Its hardness makes it practical for most jewellery applications, though rings benefit from protective settings.
How should I clean finished pieces made from this rough?
Wash your finished jewellery using warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove everyday oils and dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that might affect setting metals.
What should I look for when orienting a cut?
Look for areas of even colour saturation and minimal internal stress fractures before putting the material to a saw or grinding wheel. Proper planning ensures a stable and attractive result.
How long does delivery take, and can I return it?
We contact you directly as soon as your order is placed to arrange delivery, so you always know where the parcel is. Returns are accepted within 7 days of the date you receive the item.
Are your stones natural, or are any of them synthetic?
Everything we sell is 100% natural. We do not deal in synthetic or laboratory-grown material, and we do not hide anything about a piece: the photographs are shot to show every detail, including the ones a seller might prefer you did not see.
Are the stones in the photographs the ones I will be sent?
Yes. Every parcel is weighed and photographed as a group before it is listed, and once it sells the listing comes down.
