Transformation, Appreciation, Optimism
Prasiolite is a member of the quartz family, commonly referred to as Green Amethyst. It is formed when natural Amethyst is exposed to extremely high temperatures, often from lava flowing over rocks containing Amethyst. Named for its color, Prasiolite means ‘scallion green colored stone’ and was derived from the Greek words prason meaning ‘leek’ and lithos meaning ‘stone’. Prasiolite is thought of as a transformational stone for it’s ability to absorb negative energy and release it as positive energy. It is believed to help stimulate an open mind while encouraging the acceptance of love and helping release unwanted negative emotions.
