Sometimes referred to as prasiolite, the colour of green quartz recalls the new leaves of spring. One of the earliest stones to be venerated, the beauty of quartz led people to believe that this versatile stone was ice, transformed into an eternal gem by the gods. Green quartz is a breath of fresh colour, verdantly gorgeous at a reasonable price.
