History: Prasiolite was initially discovered in Poland during the early 19^th century. Its name is derived from "prason" and "lithos," which are Greek terms that mean "leek" and "stone," respectively. Generally, prasiolite is pronounced how one would expect.

The earliest diamonds were found in India in 4th century BC, although the youngest of these deposits were formed 900 million years ago. A majority of these early stones were transported along the network of trade routes that connected India and China, commonly known as the Silk Road.

Although the origin of white color gold dates back to 1710, where it was discovered by two alchemists in Germany, it wasn't used widely until much later. White gold as we know it today was really popularised in the 1920s. Although it might seem strange, this luxury material came to popularity in wartime.
