Meaning

Prehnite is considered a stone that strengthens one's identity by helping one confront repressed images and memories and accept even unpleasant truths and feelings. This can dissolve avoidance and repression mechanisms. It is also said to promote analytical thinking, allowing sensory impressions to be processed more effectively and attention to be increased. It is said to have a supportive effect in cases of neuroses, blockages, or depression.

Alleged effect

In healing stone science, prehnite is said to stimulate detoxification processes and, in particular, boost fat metabolism. It is also said to promote general regeneration processes in the body.

Mineralogie & Entstehung

Prehnite is a calcium-aluminum silicate (Ca₂Al(AlSi₃O₁₀)(OH)₂) that crystallizes in the orthorhombic system. It forms grape-like, kidney-shaped, or tabular aggregates. Its color ranges from light green to yellow-green to colorless. It occurs in basalt cavities and gneisses. Locations include South Africa, Australia, China, Scotland, and Mali.<br>

Pflege & Reinigung

Prehnite has a Mohs hardness of 6–6.5 and is moderately robust. Clean under lukewarm water. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods. Recharge on rock crystal or in moonlight.

Verwechslungsgefahren & Qualität

Prehnite is sometimes confused with jade, chrysoprase, or peridot. Its typical grape-like crystal form and glassy-waxy luster help with differentiation. In trade, it is reliably named.
