Light Celery Green Prasiolite,Trillion Quantum Cut, Loose Gemstone 10mm,2.60cts

Description

This is a pretty light celery green Prasiolite. Prasiolite is quartz and often referred to as Green Amethyst.  Most Purple Amethyst turns into Orange Citrine when heated, but when it is heated to green it is then referred to as Prasiolite. Heat treating is an accepted treatment in the gem trade as most stones today are heated to enhance their color. This trillion shaped Prasiolite is 10mm across and 6mm deep as you can see in the photos of the gem in the milometer gauge, and weighs about 2.60cts. It has been cut in a modern Quantum cut. The Quantum cut is a term the jewelry trade uses for stones cut with concave facets that are curved or 3-dimensional, rather than the traditional flat 2-dimensional facets. This cut which scatters more light to the interior of the gem that radiates outward to ensure extra brilliance.It is a beautiful modern cut. This stone is transparent and appears clean to the naked eye. The light reflections show up as black highlights in the photos,but there is no black in this stone - it is a pale shade of green with a high light reflection.
I have decided to sell some gemstones that at one time I had the intention to use, but never got around to it. I always say the weight is "about" a certain amount of carats because I realize that not all weight scales weigh in exactly the same and can be off by a tiny fraction up or down, but all in all the weight calculations are fairly accurate.
Please note I am not a gem dealer, although I probably have more knowledge about stones than most people since I have been collecting stones my entire life and studied color stones with the GIA. I'm just selling a few pieces I that never had the opportunity to use, and I'd like to see them go to someone who will enjoy and use them. I am not a store so
I do not accept returns
, as my goal is to thin out my collections, so please be sure you really love this gemstone before you buy it. To put your mind at ease about "no returns", if you find that any information about the materials in this item are not as described, which more than likely will not happen since I take lots of time in describing my pieces, I might consider a return, but I do not except returns if you have buyer's regret or if something doesn't fit, so please read the description carefully and feel free to ask any questions before you might have before you bid or buy. Since you get free shipping, in the small chance a return is accepted the buyer will be expected to pay for the return shipping.
All of my listings ship free of charge in the USA. I do not sell overseas at this time. Note that now eBay is required to charge taxes so I am guessing that taxes will be added to this purchase via eBay.
Thank you for checking out my listing and happy eBay shopping!
