PREHNITE
** Prehnite is a mineral that is usually NOT used in jewelry. It is used for ornamental decoration and as mineral specimens, and it is occasionally cut into faceted or cabochon jewelry, but not often. Its lovely clean light green color makes it a good stone for the few jewelry items it makes.** This is a highly mystical stone, loved by New Age proponents as a stone of prophesy, protection, out of body experiences, and communication with extraterrestrial life.** Crystal healers use Prehnite to stimulate energy in the body, and to aid in calming. Rubbing Prehnite right before going to sleep is thought to aid in lucid dreaming. It is thought to help the wearer back to his or her original dreams, plans, and wishes.** Physically, it is said to help the immune system and encourage healing after an illness. ** The stone was named for Dutch Colonel Hendrick Von Prehn.** Prehnite can change into Garnet under metamorphosis.** Also known as "Cape Emerald," it is occasionally sold by unscrupulous sellers as Emerald
