The history and origin of prasiolite

Prasiolite, also known as green amethyst, is a rare gemstone found mainly in Brazil, but also in regions such as Poland and Canada. It is prized in jewellery-making for its delicate greenish colour. Its name is derived from the Greek words ‘prasinos’ (green) and ‘lithos’ (stone). Prasiolite is a relatively new addition to the world of jewellery and has gained popularity in fashion circles in recent years as a trendy natural stone.

Origin and natural properties

Prasiolite is formed naturally through the heating of amethyst or quartz. It derives its characteristic greenish colour from natural heating processes deep within the Earth or from artificial heating during jewellery production. Prasiolite has a Mohs hardness of 7, which makes it resistant to scratches. The natural, raw crystal structures in these earrings give them a unique and modern look.

Scientific composition and spiritual significance

Prasiolite is a variety of quartz, chemically composed of silicon dioxide. Spiritually, it is often said to promote the connection between body and mind and to create inner harmony. However, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims. Nevertheless, many people value prasiolite for its unique colouring and its symbolic significance in esotericism.

Care and maintenance

To preserve the beauty of the earrings featuring prasiolite natural stone with an 18-carat gold plating, they should be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth. Contact with water, perfume or chemicals should be avoided so as not to damage the gold plating or the stone. With the right care, the natural lustre of the prasiolite and the gold setting will be preserved for a long time.

Packaging and presentation

The earrings are delivered in eco-friendly packaging, either in a cotton pouch or an elegant leather box, wrapped in tissue paper and packed in an eco-friendly cardboard box. All packaging materials are sustainable and eco-friendly, so you’re not only buying a stylish piece of jewellery, but you can also shop with a clear conscience.
