Historical Overview
Prasiolite is a green variety of quartz, its name derived from the Greek prason (leek) for its green color. Natural prasiolite is rare, with most gem material produced by heating amethyst or citrine to achieve the green hue. It has been used in jewelry since the mid‑20th century and is prized for its fresh, vibrant color. In metaphysical traditions, Prasiolite is considered a stone of abundance, compassion, and spiritual connection, fostering harmony between the heart and mind.
