Est. $3,000-$3,800 38ct Near Flawless Ascher Cut Brazilian Prasiolite in Plastic Capsule - This rare find is a 38ct, ascher cut Brazilian prasiolite. According to gemological sources, this rare stone can only be found in a small Brazilian mine. This stone is a genuine 38ct prasiolite from Brazil, unlike most of the stones on today's market being sold as "prasiolite" or "green amethyst", which are actually synthetic stones or heat treated amethyst from other regions. Prasiolite is very popular due to its individual crystals that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. As a result, the resulting transparency provides a translucent, pale-green color that is used to make beautiful gemstones. Designers who use this stone in their pieces can be seen selling prasiolite jewelry pieces that have prices well into the thousands of dollars. In addition to its beauty, prasiolite is said to provide both physical and spiritual healing properties which make this gem an even more valuable item. This stone is truly near flawless, is a stunning deep green color, and is a beautiful classic ascher cut. The stone will come in a protective plastic capsule.
