Green Amethyst - Is it Prasiolite?
Share
- The name “Green Amethyst” can be confusing. Some people prefer to call it “Prasiolite,” which comes from the Greek word meaning “leek stone,” referring to its green color.
- Prasiolite is the naturally occuring green gemstone (rare), where green amethyst has been irradiated.
- Green Amethyst can be created through irradiation or high-heat treatment of Amethyst. Occasionally, it forms naturally when Amethyst encounters lava flow heat.
- It’s quite rare to find naturally occurring Green Amethyst, but most stones come from Brazil, Poland, the United States, Zambia, Tanzania, and Canada.
- Gentle and Transformative: Green Amethyst offers powerful benefits similar to purple Amethyst but surprises with unique characteristics.
- Soothing Hue: Its green color takes you to a place of peace and tranquility, helping erase anxiety, stress, and self-doubt.
- Protective and Healing: It combines grounding Earth energy with soothing green frequency.
- Dual Ability: Calms the mind while invigorating the spirit.
