Prehnite is a gentle, pale green mineral that ranges from translucent to transparent and belongs to the phyllosilicate family. Named after Colonel Hendrik von Prehn, who first documented it in 1788, this mineral often appears alongside calcite and epidote in basaltic rock formations. Its distinctive crystal shapes vary from prismatic to tabular to botryoidal, making it unique. Prehnite’s glossy surface and soothing green shade make it a wonderful choice for jewelry, and it is frequently crafted into beads, cabochons, and delicate carvings.
