Gemstone Beads, Prehnite, Free Form, Chip Strand, 5-8mm
Bring a bit of green to your designs with these natural Free Form, Prehnite, Chip beads.
The muted yellow-green color of Prehnite is beautiful with gold, yet really shines in contrast to silver.
To really accent the high-contrast color play, use Prehnite with Pink Coral.
For a subtler look, pair with browns such as Smoky Quartz, Petrified Wood or Wooden Agate.
Fresh, springtime jewelry can be made by stringing Prehnite with Cultured Freshwater Pearls or White Moonstone, while lush summer styles can draw on mixing Prehnite with New "Jade," Chrysoprase, Green Aventurine, Zoisite and other green stones.
Due to its brittleness and high cleavage, Prehnite is best used in earrings, necklaces, pendants and other jewelry forms which are safe from sudden impacts.
For strung designs, bead caps or knotting between beads is recommended.
Beads range from 5-8mm.
Prehnite was officially named in 1788 after a Dutch colonel named Hendrik von (or van) Prehn.
Prehn, a naturalist and mineral collector, was given credit for discovering the stone in 1774, at the Cape of Good Hope in modern South Africa.
This stone has been given a number of other names over the years, including adelite, chiltonite, chrysolite of sage, coupholite, Karoo stone, grape jade and more.
Prehnite is considered a "stone of dreaming"; it is believed to increase the power of the dream state, strengthen lucid dreaming and promote communication with other planes of existence.
It is also considered a "stone of prophecy," with long use by indigenous peoples of South Africa.
Although not a birthstone, Prehnite is affiliated with the zodiac sign Libra.
It is often associated with the third eye chakra.
Prehnite can lose some of its color over time when exposed to light and air.
Therefore, store this stone in a cool, dark place using an opaque container.
This stone is also brittle and cleaves easily, so it needs to be stored inside a padded envelope or box.
