Prasiolite, often referred to as green quartz, is a captivating gemstone displaying a soft, leek-green hue. This variety of quartz owes its color to natural or artificial heat treatments of amethyst. With a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, it's a relatively durable gemstone suitable for various jewelry applications. Though naturally occurring prasiolite is rare, heat-treated versions are more readily available, offering a unique and subtle green alternative in the quartz family. It is important to note that the trade name "green amethyst" is considered incorrect.
