Green amethyst is a rare and valuable variety of amethyst that has a green hue instead of the more common purple. This coloration is caused by trace amounts of iron during its formation.
While it's often referred to as "green amethyst," it's technically a different mineral called prasiolite. However, due to its close resemblance to amethyst in terms of crystal structure and formation, it's often grouped with amethysts.
Green amethyst (prasiolite) is prized for its unique color and rarity, making it a sought-after gemstone in jewelry and collections.
