Prehnite Clusters A-C - Choose your own

Prehnite is a calcium aluminum silicate that forms in the cavities of metamorphic rock, especially basalt. It got its name from Dutch Colonel Hendrik von Prehn who is credited with its discovery in 1774 at the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. It was known before this, however, by the shamans of South Africa who used it as a tool of divination and the Aboriginal peoples in Australia who believed it could absorb the sun's energy and release it at night to provide warmth and protection.

Prehnite is generally a lovely light to dark green or grey to white, often with additions of other stones such as epidote. It can occasionally be found in blue, and in the early 2000s, an orange prehnite vein was found in the N'chwaning mine in South Africa.

This prehnite was found in Morocco

Warm, otherworldly, and powerful, the energy of prehnite is best summed up by its history as a tool of divination for the shamans of South Africa and a conduit for the sun's energy by the Aboriginal peoples in Australia. Prehnite is believed to bridge the gap between our plane of existence and the divine. It is said to aid in lucid dreaming and is used in meditation for spiritual enrichment.

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
