Prasiolite Jewellery

Prasiolite is an elegant and refreshing gemstone, admired for its soft green tones and refined brilliance. Sometimes referred to as green amethyst, prasiolite offers a subtle, contemporary alternative to deeper green gemstones, making it a popular choice for modern fine jewellery.

At Clarindon Jewellers, we showcase prasiolite in beautifully crafted jewellery designed to highlight its gentle colour and understated sophistication.


What Is Prasiolite?

Prasiolite is a green variety of quartz, closely related to amethyst and citrine. Its delicate green colour is typically achieved through natural processes or careful heat treatment of amethyst, resulting in a gemstone prized for its clarity and pastel hue.

This transformation gives prasiolite its distinctive character while retaining the durability and brilliance of quartz.


The Colour & Appearance of Prasiolite

Prasiolite is valued for its soft, translucent green colour, which can range from pale mint to light olive tones. The finest prasiolite gemstones display even colour distribution, excellent transparency, and a gentle sparkle that enhances their elegant appearance.

Its subtle shade makes prasiolite exceptionally versatile in jewellery design.
