Green Amethyst

Composition

Green amethyst, also known as prasiolite is a green type of quartz; a silicate mineral. Most green amethyst extracted is used in jewelry environments, where it may act as an inexpensive replacement for more costly precious gemstones. Prasiolite is rare in nature; and heat treated purple amethyst is synthetic alternative  Some amethyst can turn yellow or orange when processed and produces citrine as well as green amethyst. Currently, all prasiolite generated on the market is heat processed and ionized by X ray.

History

Since 1950, natural green amethyst was only identified at a small mine in Brazil, but its occurrence has been identified in Poland  and in the Thunder Bay region of Canada. As of February 2019, the only mine producing prasiolite is established in Brazil, but almost all of the ore has already been extracted. Prasiolite simply means "scallion green-colored stone" and is derived from Greek "prason" meaning the vegetable "leek."
