Prehnite Beads

This lovely gemstone mineral was discovered in South Africa in the late 1700s and named after Henrik van Prehn, a Dutch colonial governor of that country who was also an amateur naturalist and gem collector. Prehnite Beads are usually translucent pale green or yellow, but they can also be clear, white or blue, and on very rare occasions, orange. Prehnite is most often found in South Africa, Australia, China, Scotland and the United States.

Glowing Green

Green is the most prevalent color of prehnite, and it is a lovely light jade hue. It looks so much like jade that some retailers advertise it as “new jade,” while some less reputable ones actually pass prehnite jewelry off as jade. Prehnite contains large quantities of silica, which allows the mineral to be carved into large cabochons, pendants and figurines and adds to the confusion between prehnite and jade. However, jade is much harder than prehnite, and that is one way to tell them apart.

Unconditional Love

Prehnite beads are considered to be tuned into divine love and will show you your true spiritual path. It is a stone of unconditional love and forms connections between the heart, or emotions, and the will. Wear prehnite jewelry to align your actions with the highest good. It is actually connected to three chakras: the heart, the solar plexus and the third eye.

It is also a divinatory stone considered to be a meditation aid. It can help the wearer to open the third eye chakra and achieve higher levels of awareness. It is also an aid in finding the cause of illness when the symptoms are confusing. It is used by crystal healers to treat diseases of the bladder and kidneys, the thymus gland, and the respiratory system. Prehnite is considered a “healer’s healer” and many people who work with crystals for healing wear it to protect themselves.

Abundance

The green color of prehnite beads and their connection to the solar plexus also makes them useful for manifesting prosperity, money and luck. Wear prehnite jewelry or carry the small, tumbled stones in a pocket, purse or amulet pouch when you are going into situations involving monetary transactions. Along with citrine, prehnite is a good stone for business owners to keep in a cash register.

Spring Green

In addition to attracting money, the light spring green color of prehnite beads makes for gorgeous jewelry. It comes in different shades of yellow-green, so creating a necklace entirely from prehnite can be very attractive. It also mixes well with darker green beads, such as peridot, chalcedony or jade. Try a mixture of green prehnite, yellow citrine, pink rose quartz and light lilac amethyst for a fresh new spring look! Prehnite can be carved into lovely pendants and worn alone on a chord, or set into silver and hung on chain.
