10.07 Ct. Bluish Green Prasiolite

A gemstone with a story as old as the earth itself, this transparent 10.07 carat round bluish green prasiolite carries the quiet dignity of classical gems that have adorned rulers and travelers for centuries, and it arrives to you with provenance from the storied mines of Brazil, certified by us. The gem measures 13.88 x 14.04 x 9.91 mm, and the faceted, round shape speaks to traditions of symmetry and balance that have defined fine jewelry across eras. Cut with a mixed brilliant cut the stone combines the luminous fire of brilliant facet architecture with the calm depth of balanced geometry, producing a presence that reads as both ancient and invigorating. Its clarity grading of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level means that in ordinary viewing the crystal appears pure and clear, free of distraction, and its intense color intensity produces a tone that is vivid yet serenely refined. Enhanced by irradiation to bring out its captivating bluish green hue, this prasiolite has been finished to an excellent polish so that every facet edge gleams with a mirror like finish, honoring the workmanship that links modern lapidary skill to historic gem cutting traditions. At the heart of this prasiolite is a crystal structure that defines its optical character, and that structure is what gives the gem a sparkle that is unmatched by many other stones of its class. As a member of the quartz family this prasiolite inherits a tightly ordered lattice that channels light through consistent planes, enabling even the largest face to return brilliant flashes rather than dull reflections. The mixed brilliant cut uses a marriage of crown and pavilion facets, with a precise balance of angular pavilion facets to capture light, and smaller crown facets to disperse it across the surface, creating a tapestry of scintillation that plays with each movement. Because the stone is transparent and evaluated as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level the internal passages of light remain largely uninterrupted, allowing repeated internal reflections to build in intensity rather than scatter into muddiness. The excellent polish further minimizes surface scattering, so instead of light washing across the stone in undifferentiated glare, it is channeled and multiplied, creating pinpoint highlights and broad flashes in sequence. The result is a dynamic interplay between brilliance and depth, a visual dialogue that rewards close inspection and prolonged admiration, and which becomes more compelling as light conditions change. This prasiolite is both a testament to geological time and a promise for future generations, a jewel designed to be worn as a personal heirloom that speaks of continuity, refinement, and taste. The round mixed brilliant cut ensures versatility in design, translating into a classic solitaire for those who favor restrained elegance, or a period inspired three stone setting for those who appreciate narrative and lineage in jewelry. Set in warm metals the bluish green tone reads as verdant and alive, set in cool metals it adopts a noble, oceanic calm, and in every setting the intense color intensity and excellent polish make the gem read like a vignette of light. We place equal value on the story and the science, and we present this 10.07 carat prasiolite with full transparency about its Brazilian origin and its irradiated enhancement so that collectors and connoisseurs alike can choose with confidence. For those who cherish objects that embody history while continuing to live and breathe in daily wear, this prasiolite is an invitation to carry forward a legacy, a jewel whose structural clarity and masterful cutting deliver a sparkle that is at once timeless and unmistakably alive.
