Historical Overview
Prehnite was first discovered in South Africa in the 18th century and named after Colonel Hendrik von Prehn, making it the first mineral named after a person. It has been used as a collector’s stone and ornamental gem, though less common in jewelry due to its softness compared to harder gemstones. In metaphysical traditions, Prehnite is considered a stone of prophecy, unconditional love, and healing, fostering peace, harmony, and spiritual connection.
