Prasiolite (Green Amethyst) is not that
popular in comparison to its purple version. However, it contains an energy
level similar to that of the purple version. Yet this stone is pretty different
or unique in all aspects. You will come across natural deposits of prasiolite
in USA as well as Brazil. But, quite obviously, its a lot easier and safer to buy
prasiolite online.
Interestingly, its believed that the
purple version of amethyst
gets naturally converted into the green version of amethyst as a result of
earths internal heat, probably due to volcanic activity. However, nowadays, an
artificial process is used by heating a stone in the kilns. In fact, this has
proved an effective way to create prasiolites.
Prasiolite is considered as a powerful
energy amplifier. Therefore, wearing it along with your purple amethyst can
prove extremely beneficial in the long run. You can go for crystal jewelry that
is made out of this precious green stone in order to derive the best possible
beneficial effect. Look for good jewelry stores recommended by your friends, or
buy prasiolite and other gemstones online.
Nowadays, prasiolite pendants have
become quite popular for their aesthetic appearance. On the other hand, prasiolite
earrings are attractive as well as highly beneficial. This is mainly because by
placing them on your ears, you allow the energy flow to pass closer to your
third eye as well as the crown chakras, and this goes on to stimulate the inner
vision to a great extent. However, having said that, this precious stone can be
effective no matter where you decide to place it on the body. Your faith is the
most important thing and it will keep the stone working for you forever. Therefore,
once you buy the stone, make it a habit to wear it regularly to experience its remarkable
positive effect.
