Prasiolite, a green varity of Quartz, began its life as a form of purple amethyst but was heated by natural processes wtihin the earth- this heating process changes the color of the crystals from purple to green. Sometimes referred to (incorrectly) as "Green Amethyst", this cluster was mined from within a pocket in the basalt and features cut stalactites, allowing the viewer to see the remarkable banding of the green agate the Prasiolite crystals grew from. Iron impurities tint some of the crystals a warm orange-hue near the edges of the specimen, providing a sharp contrast to the varying shades of green found throughout the piece.
