Introduction To Prehnite
Prehnite is creamy green, and its English name is derived from its discoverer in the 18th century, the Dutch colonel Hendrik von Plehanen. Prehnite is usually radiating clumps or grapes, and occasionally plate-like crystals coexisting with basalt and feldspar are seen. Prehnite was originally considered a subspecies of emerald or olivine. Prehnite is mostly found in South Africa and has been called Cape of Good Hope Emerald and Cape of Good Hope Olivine for some time. Other prehnite origins include Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and the Alps.
Prehnite has attracted much attention because of its translucent green color, which makes it an ideal gemstone for relaxing the mood and achieving a state of consciousness free from time and space.
