Strand length: approx. 40 cm
Stone size: approx. 5 x 10 mm

Prehnite was named in 1788 after the Dutch officer Hendrik von Prehn, who was the first to bring the stone to Europe – making it the first stone to be named after a person. Mineralogically, prehnite belongs to the group of phyllosilicates and displays a characteristic delicate green color, which is caused by small traces of iron in the crystal lattice. The tumbled beads on this strand are organically rounded – each unique in shape and size – and are perfectly suited for natural-looking, expressive jewelry.

Significant localities: South Africa, Australia, China, France, Scotland, USA.
