For instance, green amethyst price in India ranges between ₹ 150 per carat ($2.5) to ₹ 250 per carat ($4) but its price may differ in Dubai or U.S.A.

Color

– Color differentiates green amethyst from its purple counterpart. Therefore, it is the prime factor that influences green amethyst price. The depth in color and its distribution throughout the crystal collectively defines the green amethyst value. Generally, green amethyst cost increases for stones that have deeper and brighter hue.

Origin

– Brazilian green amethyst gemstone deserves a higher premium than other origins due to its fine color and clarity. Green amethyst resourced from this geological location always remains in demand because they are mostly in pure natural form or, if not, then very slightly heated.

Clarity

– Green quartz value increases for highly transparent stones with no eye-visible inclusions. Typically, natural green quartz price per carat increases by 20 to 30% for eye clean pieces.

Cut

– Classic cuts in well-defined proportions hide the flaws and enhance the color and brilliance of green amethyst stone. But the weight reduction involved in the cutting process is what decides green amethyst price. Generally, oval and round shape green amethyst are more affordable than fancy cuts like checkerboard cut or cushion cut, as the latter ones cause more wastage of the stone.

Carat Weight

– It is hard to find a large-size prasiolite crystal in bright and evenly distributed color along with consistent clarity. Therefore, prasiolite price increases substantially for fine quality stones of bigger size.

Gemstone prices in India are calculated both in Carats as well as Ratti. Since, carat is a bigger unit, Green Amethyst price per carat is slightly higher than Green Amethyst price per ratti.
1 Ratti = 0.91 Carats

Green Amethyst Quality

Just like other gemstones, Green Amethyst quality varies from one stone to another. Therefore, each gem is individually assessed on certain quality parameters such as origin, color, and clarity to determine its real worth. A well-cut, transparent and bright vitreous green gemstone without any eye-visible inclusion is considered the best quality Green Amethyst gemstone and is good for astrological as well as jewelry purposes.

Origin

– Natural green amethyst is extremely rare in nature. Only a limited amount of fine quality raw green quartz is sourced from the mines of Brazil, U.S.A, Bolivian, India, Canada, Tanzania and Arizona. Amongst all these origins, Brazilian prasiolite gemstone is considered highly desirable due to its bright green hue and superior clarity.

Color

– Green amethysts occurs in various shades of green including pale green, golden green, brownish green etc. But the finest quality green amethyst displays an evenly distributed, medium green colour tone. The presence of yellowish or brownish hints with dusky overtones disturb the purity of color and make the gemstone less desirable.

Clarity

– This Prasiolite stone belongs to the category of Type II clarity gemstone which means it usually contains inclusions. Liquid inclusions, negative crystal, tiny solid particles and natural internal fractures commonly exist in this crystal and degrades its clarity. Therefore, a highly transparent prasiolite crystal without any visible inclusion is rare to find and hence demands a good market value.
