Green Quartz on Metal Stand - One side Polished

Green quartz, also known as prasiolite, vermarine or lime citrine, is a macrocrystalline variety of the mineral quartz and is a rare stone in nature. This stone has been mistakenly referred to as "green amethyst" in the past.

Green quartz is thought to be discovered in 1884 and is commonly known as "prasoilite," which is derived from two Greek words: prason, which means "leek," and lithos, which means "stone." Other names used for prasiolite are "praseolite" and "praziolite."

Green quartz is a macrocrystalline variety of the mineral quartz, the most abundant single mineral on earth. Most naturally occurring green quartz comes from a small mine in Brazil, with some minor deposits in Poland and Canada.
