Prehnite gemstone pendant faceted 925 silver 13x18 mm

Prehnite bears the name of its discoverer: Baron Hendrik von Prehn discovered it in the 18th century at the Cape of Good Hope – the first gemstone ever to be named after a person. Large deposits are also found in Australia, where prehnite is considered by the Aborigines to be a healing stone for eternal youth. Its luminous green to yellow-green appearance with its typical translucent depth makes it a distinctive gemstone. This pendant comes from Australia and is set in 925 sterling silver.
