Prasiolite is another variant of quartz that is like amethyst and citrine. It is associated with the heart chakra and will bring abundance, happiness, and self-reliance. The energy of prasiolite is incredibly positive and warm, a great stone for those needing something to cheer them up! Prasiolite’s name comes from the Greek words “prason” (leek) and “lithos” (stone), named after its green appearance. Despite it commonly being known as green amethyst, the name is misleading as it is not a type of amethyst at all. Amethyst gets its color from iron, prasiolite gets its color from irradiation.
