What are prehnite bracelets?
Prehnite bracelets are made from prehnite, a translucent green gemstone known as the stone of unconditional love and healing. First discovered in South Africa in the 18th century, it was named after Colonel Hendrik von Prehn, the Dutch governor credited with its introduction to Europe. Today, prehnite can also be found in Australia, China, Scotland, and the United States.

Prehnite is easily recognized by its serene green tones, often semi-translucent, with cloud-like patterns or subtle inclusions of other minerals. Some varieties contain black epidote inclusions, which are believed to amplify the stone’s healing properties. This combination of gentle green and soft textures makes prehnite bracelets both elegant and calming.
