Prasiolite (Green Amethyst) Dual Ring
Prasiolite, also called green amethyst, is a pale green variety of quartz traditionally associated with heart-centered calm and renewal. Most prasiolite on the market — including this stone — reaches its soft green color through heat treatment of amethyst, a common and widely accepted enhancement in the quartz family. This adjustable ring sets two smooth prasiolite stones side by side in a dual-stone design, available in gold, silver, or black rhodium tone.

Meaning & history
Prasiolite belongs to the quartz family alongside amethyst, and its gentle green comes from careful heating that shifts the iron content's color — a treatment so established that prasiolite is considered its own recognized variety. In crystal tradition it is associated with the heart chakra, gentle emotional balance, and fresh starts.

Care & cleansing
As a quartz variety, prasiolite is fairly durable and generally tolerates light contact with water, but it's best to avoid prolonged soaking, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners, and to store it away from harder stones that could scratch it. Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. To cleanse its energy, many people also use sound, moonlight, or smoke from herbs.
