Green Amethyst Jewelry: Their Origin, Properties And Care
Chemically speaking Amethyst is made up of silicon dioxide and is of the quartz variety. Depending on the trace elements of other minerals that are present in the stone the color of the stone varies. Green Amethyst jewelry is quite popular these days. The actual color of the stone in its raw form is purple, but after it is being heated and chemical treated, it changes its color to green.
Amethyst is sometimes naturally available in green. It is also called prasiolite. Prasiolite originates from the Greek words “prason” and “lithos,” which means “leek stone.” The name has been given because when such an amethyst is found the green color resembles the shades of leek and other vegetables.Green amethyst jewelry is a favorite of women all over the world. The natural prasiolite form of the stone is very rare and hence is very expensive. But with each passing day the popularity as well as the demand for the green amethyst jewelry is increasing. Hence, to meet the rising demand the stones are heat-treated in the laboratory change their color to a sparkling shade of green. Irradiation is another method that changes the stones color to green. In the process of irradiation the colorless quartz is used instead of prasiolite; as result the green stones formed by this process is much less expensive as compared to the prasiolite ones.
