Natural Prasiolite Montana

Natural prasiolite (often called green amethyst) is a rare pale-to-deep green variety of quartz. While genuine naturally occurring prasiolite is globally scarce—with deposits primarily in Brazil, Poland, and Canada—several Montana-based jewelers and lapidary artists source, facet, and carve it into custom, locally crafted jewelry. 

Montana Prasiolite & Local Jewelers

Because nearly all commercial prasiolite is heat-treated to achieve its green color, "natural prasiolite" refers to the uncut, raw amethyst crystal that is either naturally heated in the earth or carefully heated by gemologists. In Montana, you can find authentic, carefully sourced prasiolite used in custom jewelry designs: 

• Bijou by SAM: A Montana-based jeweler who hand-cuts irregular-shaped, natural prasiolite for artisan earrings and necklaces.
• The Gemstone Man: Based in Hamilton, MT, this lapidary artist specializes in custom-cutting.
• Ryan Gardner Designs: A Montana-based designer who features unique hand-carved prasiolite combined with local Montana sapphires.
