Prasiolite

Prasiolite crystals are misnamed Green Amethyst. Technically, it’s actually Green Quartz, and Amethyst is Purple Quartz. Prasiolite is excellent for universal connection, focus, good fortune, protection, psychic abilities, and health. 

Is Amegreen the same as Prasiolite? No, Amegreen is a mix of Amethyst and Prasiolite rather than Prasiolite/ Green Quartz alone.

Prasiolite is called Greened Quartz because it’s a naturally-greened Quartz. Did you know Prasiolite is a rare crystal? Most of the Green Quartz on the market comes from heating and irradiating Amethyst and Citrine crystals. 

Natural Green Quartz crystals may be transparent, translucent, or opaque. Green Quartz is a dichroic crystal that shows both blue-green and olive-green shades from different angles. 

Known throughout history as Prazeolite and Prasiolita, irradiated Greened Quartz shows red flashes under incandescent, as opposed to the green of heat-treated Greened Quartz. 

Prasiolite is not well known among beginners. Most experts say it’s best for health, fertility, and good fortune, as the earth element rules Prasiolite. 

The Prasiolite benefits of amplifying energies make this a great stone for crystal altars and crystal grids.

Many Earth gods and goddesses like Dione, Gaia, Bhumi, Prithvi, and Osiris rule Prasiolite. It’s also ruled by the Mountain God Apu and the Goddess of Fertility, Brigit.

Astrologically, Prasiolite is ruled by the planet Venus. It attracts positivity, beauty, abundance, intuition, protection, and wisdom. That’s why you should wear Prasiolite jewelry on Friday or Venus’s day of the week. 

The perfect amalgam of planetary, elemental, and godly powers in Prasiolite makes it ideal for opening the higher chakras, which are the Crown, Third Eye, Heart, and Solar Plexus.
