Prasiolite is still considered a mysterious stone. There are endless disputes about the origin of the mineral, its properties. The name of the gem was given by its unusual color, reminiscent of leek leaves. Translated from Greek, the name means "onion stone".
According to legend, a brooch with prasiolite was presented to Catherine II by Stanislav August Poniatovsky. The decoration impressed the empress so much that she wore it with all her outfits. It is believed that the talisman helped to strengthen the position of Russia and increase the influence of the queen herself in the world.
Appearance and features
Not a single deposit of a gem related to quartz rocks has been found. Only a few samples were found. According to archaeologists, once the deposits were, but completely dried up. There is evidence of the artificial origin of the mineral.
There are descriptions of the process of obtaining a green stone from quartz. Ural craftsmen once baked amethyst in a loaf of bread so that the mineral acquired a pleasant green hue. Nowadays, light or transparent quartz is heated up to 500 degrees.
Natural prasiolite is never bright in color. There are dark and light patterns. However, bright greens are not found among them. This is a sign of artificial origin. The mineral is well served in cutting, although it is considered fragile.

Jewelers willingly use the gem to make jewelry. It is usually combined with other stones. The rarity of prasiolite made it possible to use synthetic analogs. Natural stones can be recognized by their brightness, it is small, transparency, uniqueness of color and slow heating in the hands.
Synthetic gems adorn souvenirs, watch bracelets.
Care
The stone needs proper care. It is undesirable to wear it during the daytime, as sunlight causes a loss of brightness. Keep jewelry away from light. Synthetic samples do not have this problem.
- The product is afraid of mechanical damage. They keep accessories in soft-coated boxes or in special bags.
- Before water procedures, all jewelry is removed.
- Cleaning is carried out with a soft cloth infrequently soaked in a mild soapy solution.
There are no contraindications to wearing for any sign of the zodiac. Every owner gets confidence and calmness. However, it is important for one person to wear jewelry, since energy accumulates in order to be passed on to another owner. When receiving a stone by inheritance, energetic cleansing with water and salt is required.
