On Google search, I get 560,000 hits for "prasiolite" and 20,000 hits for "vermarine" (and 10,900 hits for "praseolite"). Prasiolite is the dominant scientific name and vermarine is mostly used in gem/jewellery/new age "crystal healing" contexts. Even the source references used in this article use prasiolite instead of vermarine.
