Prasiolite, also known as green amethyst, is a rare variety of quartz formed when amethyst is naturally or heat-treated to produce a delicate green hue. It typically exhibits a translucent to transparent appearance with a soft, soothing green colour and a glassy, vitreous lustre. Folklore often associates Prasiolite with renewal and growth. Metaphysically, it is believed to encourage emotional healing, compassion, and abundance, supporting personal growth while enhancing clarity, creativity, and spiritual insight, making it a cherished stone for balance and harmony.
