Prehnite is a translucent to transparent mineral with a pale green color, belonging to the phyllosilicate group. It was named after Dutch military officer Colonel Hendrik von Prehn following its discovery in 1788. This mineral is commonly found in basaltic rock formations and is often associated with minerals such as calcite and epidote. Prehnite is notable for its distinctive crystal shapes, which vary from prismatic and tabular to botryoidal forms. Its glossy surface and soothing green shade make it a popular material for jewelry, as well as for crafting beads, cabochons, and decorative carvings.
