Yes. Green amethyst and prasiolite refer to the same stone—a green variety of quartz created when amethyst is exposed to heat. Jewelers use both terms interchangeably.
Green amethyst rates 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, the same as standard amethyst and citrine. This hardness level holds up well to regular wear, though you should remove rings during heavy manual work.
Most prasiolite on the market originates from Brazilian amethyst. Natural untreated prasiolite exists but remains rare, found in limited deposits in Brazil and Poland.
