Prasiolite (also known as green quartz, green amethyst or vermarine) is a green variety of quartz. The word prasiolite literally means "scallion green-colored stone" and is derived from Greek πράσον prason meaning "leek" and λίθος lithos meaning "stone". The mineral was given its name due to its green-colored appearance. Natural prasiolite is a very light, translucent green.
