These nurturing beads feature genuine natural prehnite in a freeform nugget shape.
About Prehnite:
Prehnite is a calcium aluminum silicate mineral that forms in cavities of volcanic rocks. It is prized for its soft pale green to yellow-green coloration and its distinctive velvety luster. The stone was first discovered in South Africa in the 18th century and was named after Colonel Hendrik von Prehn, the Dutch governor of the Cape Colony. Prehnite is often associated with epidote inclusions, which appear as dark specks or veils within the stone. Major sources include Australia, China, South Africa, and the United States. Prehnite is known as the "Stone of Unconditional Love" and is strongly associated with the heart chakra.
