Custom Precision Faceted Prasiolite Cushion - 8.37ct #230

Exquisite 8.37ct Cushion Cut Prasiolite with Wind Rose Custom Cut

This exceptional gemstone is a breathtaking 1$8.37\text{ct}$ Prasiolite, a green variety of quartz often referred to as Green Amethyst (specifically indicating it is heat-treated amethyst).2

The stone is shaped into a classic Cushion Cut, which combines a square or rectangular shape with rounded corners, giving it a soft, antique feel.3 This shape is an ideal canvas for the unique faceting on the stone's crown.

💎 Custom Wind Rose Cut

The defining feature of this gem is its unique Custom Wind Rose Cut. Unlike a traditional brilliant or step cut, this specialized faceting pattern on the pavilion (the lower part of the stone) and/or the crown is designed to:

• Maximize Light Return: The arrangement of facets, reminiscent of a compass rose or starburst, captures and reflects light in a spectacular, multidirectional manner, creating dazzling sparkle and depth.

• Enhance Color: The precise angles of the custom cut distribute the prasiolite's soft, minty-green color evenly, showcasing its serene, leek-green hue.

Prasiolite (Heat-Treated Amethyst)

Prasiolite is the official mineralogical name for this green quartz.4The "heat treated amethyst" designation confirms that the original purple amethyst material was carefully heated to a specific temperature, which transformed its color to this desirable light green.5 The result is a durable, eye-catching gem with high clarity and a Mohs hardness of 7, making it suitable for everyday wear.

The combination of the substantial $8.37\text{ct}$ weight, the graceful cushion silhouette, and the proprietary Wind Rose Cut makes this a truly unique and luxurious centerpiece for a custom jewelry design.
