Magickal Uses
This stone has already undergone magickal transformation multiple times. It embodies transformation. Quartz is heated by the earth to become amethyst. Amethyst is heated to become citrine and heated even more to become prasiolite. Fire is the physical manifestation of the concept of magick or change.
Work with prasiolite to manifest transformation:
- If you feel stuck, trapped, or powerless over your life.
- If you don’t know how to get from where you are to where you want to be.
- If you need a magical solution because normal means of achieving your goal have failed.
This mineral is an excellent support for active magick. It retains the quartz’s ability to amplify and focus energy. It supports invocations and summonings. Traditionally it has been used for prosperity work and magic designed to increase abundance in one’s life.
Work with prasiolite to support active magick:
- If you are building a new thoughtform.
- When you need to feed energy to a thoughtform or spell regularly.
- In ritual and ceremony.
Wearing or meditating with this stone increases creativity and helps one observe the synchronicities through which the universe communicates. Intuition and the development of your own divinity can bring your life to a brand new level.
Work with prasiolite to enhance intuition and recognition of synchronicity:
- If you take up any form of divination.
- If you want to increase the frequency of synchronicity in your life or interpret your messages more accurately.
- If you need to clarify your message from an oracle.
Prasiolite is also deeply connected with the earth and nature spirits. Those seeking to commune with faeries or nature spirits will find this stone an invaluable ally.
3D Considerations
This stone has many names! This member of the quartz family is known as green amethyst, vermarine, lime citrine, green quartz, and of course, prasiolite. Prasiolite begins as purple amethyst but exposure to extreme heat (932 degrees Fahrenheit!) turns the stone green. Heat treating most amethysts results in yellow, orange, or brown stones but prasiolite requires an amethyst with a Fe2+ iron compound.
This is not exactly a common occurrence and the vast majority of the stones available for purchase are mined in Brazil. While there are a few locations on the planet boasting natural prasiolite, the most available specimens have been heated in kilns and ovens.
It’s worth noting that this type of mineral coloration (idiochromatic) is based on what the mineral itself is composed of, whereas allochromatic is based on impurity inclusions.
Like all quartz, the prasiolite is a silicon dioxide crystal. Crystallography is a new addition to my studies so I’m only beginning to understand what terms like hexagonal crystal system or Bravais lattice might indicate. In eventuality, as this knowledge develops, I will relate crystals to numerology. In the meantime, prasiolite has a hardness of 7.
