Prehnite (Gemstone)

Historical Lore

Prehnite was first described in 1788 and named after Colonel Hendrik von Prehn, who is credited with its early identification at the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. It is a calcium aluminium silicate mineral commonly found in basaltic and metamorphic rocks. Prehnite has been sourced in locations including South Africa, Australia, China, and the United States. Historically, it has been primarily valued as a mineral specimen rather than for widespread ancient use in jewellery. It is frequently found in geological collections due to its distinctive soft green colour and botryoidal crystal formations.
