Green Amethyst vs. Peridot—both stunning green gemstones, yet distinct in composition and properties. Green Amethyst, or Prasiolite, is a Quartz gemstone with a soft green hue, often created through heat-treated Amethyst. It has a Mohs hardness scale rating of 7, offering good durability. Peridot, a natural Olivine mineral, boasts a vibrant yellow-green color and forms deep within the Earth’s mantle. With a hardness of 6.5–7, it is slightly softer than Green Amethyst. While Prasiolite jewelry has a subtle, elegant appeal, Peridot jewelry is known for its bright, lively green tones. Both are prized for their unique beauty.
