Prasiolite Gemstones

Prasiolite are green quartz gemstones that have been heat-treated to achieve their unique color. Although most quartz gems are colorless or various shades of white, Prasiolite display a lovely green hue. The name “Prasiolite” is derived from the Greek word “prason,” meaning “leek.” This is fitting, as the color of Prasiolite closely resembles that of leeks. Like all quartz gems, Prasiolite is a hard and durable gemstone. With a rating of 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, they are second only to diamonds in terms of hardness. This makes Prasiolite ideal for use in jewelry that will be worn on a daily basis. They are also resistant to scratching and chipping, which further adds to their durability.
