Prasiolite (Banded) Tumbled
Banded Prasiolite, also known as Green Amethyst, is a unique variety of quartz characterized by its distinctive green hue and often seen with banding patterns throughout the crystal. This intriguing coloration primarily results from the heat treatment of amethyst or the natural irradiation of clear quartz containing iron inclusions, which undergoes a transformation to create a color center, lending the stone its captivating green shade. While most commercially available prasiolite is produced through these processes in Brazil, naturally occurring prasiolite is exceedingly rare. Scientists have studied the mineralogical characteristics of prasiolite, revealing insights into its atomic and microstructural origins, particularly focusing on its formation and the effects of irradiation and heat treatments on its color and structure
Banded Prasiolite, known for its captivating green hue, is a variant of quartz and is not toxic. Quartz, the mineral from which prasiolite derives, is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), a compound that is inherently non-toxic and is commonly found in nature. This means that prasiolite, including its banded variety, can be safely handled, worn as jewelry, or kept as a decorative item without concern for toxicity. The process used to achieve the green color of most prasiolite on the market, either through heat treatment or irradiation of amethyst or clear quartz, does not introduce any harmful substances. Therefore, it remains a safe, non-toxic choice for both collectors and enthusiasts alike, allowing them to appreciate its beauty without health risks.
