Nat Prasiolite From India 5.65 CT
Natural prasiolite (often sold as green amethyst) is a rare, leek-green variety of quartz. While true natural prasiolite is found in locations like Brazil and Poland, the vast majority of prasiolite sold out of India is heat-treated amethyst or irradiated quartz. This treatment perfectly mimics nature, yielding the exact same chemical structure.
Why Choose Prasiolite from India?
India—specifically the gemstone hub of Jaipur—is a premier destination for cutting and polishing this stone. Indian lapidaries are known for executing brilliant, calibrated cuts (facets, teardrops, cushions, and beads) at highly affordable prices.
