Prasiolite Quartz (man-made color) - $1.30/carat
Locality: Brazil

The color of this material is a nice green with some blue tones.

Note: Prasiolite (green Quartz) comes in many color grades. So be aware that the green color of the rough you buy depends on the color grade and quality. You will get the color you pay for...

This material is the top grade and much better color than most commercial color man-made Prasiolite that you might see.

The color is all a nice green and color will not wash out when cut. This material does not have any of the gray tones which a lot of the lower quality material does and it is also a shade darker green at least than most other material I have see. This is the select of the best color.

This material finishes a nice good color green (blue/green highlights) stone and will work well in about any designs and hold it's color when faceted. Ideally I think this color works well in deeper designs and Barions. This is irradiated, like all this material. The color of this material is stable and irradiated, as well as maybe heated, they will not say exactly what the treatment process is but it is color stable.

Note: Genuine Prasiolite is natural Amethyst that is heated to green and quite rare.

In general this material is clean but there maybe a spot here or there. Because it is all large, it will work very well for about any application. This is ideal proofing material for about any new design or just nice inexpensive cutting for a newbie cutter. Or for that matter just good cutting. A lot of these stones are large and can easily be cut down to make matches and/or several stones.
