Title: ***6.27 cts prasiolite*** square shape step-cut Post by: tiptopgemdotcom on January 15, 2012, 08:36:28 AM This auction does not have a time limit. I will take bids until I tire of it.
This is NOT green amethyst! There is NO such thing as green amethyst! Amethyst is a variety of quartz that is purple in color. If a stone is not purple, it can not be amethyst. I repeat- there is no such thing as green amethyst. When quartz is green, it is called prasiolite. This is a wonderful example of the stone with a lively mint green color and very good brilliance. It is also quite clean with a VS clarity grade. The stone weighs 6.27 carats and the dimensions are 10.68 x 10.21 x 7.55mm deep. http://s17.postimage.org/amtcm6otb/DSCN7834.jpg As you can see by the pictures it is a very attractive stone that is square shaped with a step cut. This makes for a sophisticated look that is ideal either for the gemstone collector or for jewelry. Because prasiolite is a "7" on the Mohs hardness scale, it is suitable for any type of jewelry. http://s18.postimage.org/rtgan3fah/DSCN7835.jpg This stone was mined in Brazil. This stone has been treated with heat and radiation. http://s16.postimage.org/qea4kmot1/DSCN7836.jpg If you have any questions about this or any other stone listed here just send me a note at dave@tiptopgem.com. As a professional gemologist, I probably have an answer or can find one for you. And if I don't have an answer to your question I will admit that I have no idea! Gemology is full of riddles and nobody has all the answers. 1BTC to start, 1BTC increments. No time limit.
