Prehnite, Gemstone Profile

Prehnite is a stone I had never heard of up until about 4 months ago. I did a little research on it, liked what I saw and bought a few pendants to try out. 

Prehnite are the fan and heart shaped pendants in "B" and "C", pictured below.


AKA "Cape Emerald", thanks to original discovery and substantial deposits in the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa.Discovered in the mid-18th century in Jurassic-aged rock, it has been considered rare until recent deposits were discovered in Australia and China.

Prehnite is about peace and calm, especially during chaotic, difficult or transitional times. It can inspire inner knowing and increased intuition. Great for those who want to relax or improve meditation.

Item "B" in the above picture is for sale on Etsy.
