Zodiac Affinity
Prehnite as with most zeolites has an affinity with all signs but is particularly helpful to Libras. It is also quite effective in enhancing the effects of other stones.
Folklore
Prehnite is being used in our modern times to multiply energy and to enhance ones protective fields. It has also been quite beneficial as an aid in remembering dreams.
Prehnite enhances prophetic abilities. Predictions that this gem brings about are usually very precise and accurate, however, this inner knowing seems to only be revealed when the concerns are for your own spiritual growth.
There are many, including myself, that refer to this one as the 'scout' stone. The knowing that it brings allows for always being prepared in advance of the situations when they occur. While this knowing is generally not at the conscious level, when 'things' happen, we know what needs doing.
Crystal System
Prehnite has a rhombic crystal system, is in the mineral class of group silicates and considered to be in the Zeolites family. It has a 'hot water' origin and is generally the first crystal in a trapped lining of rock. Not discovered until the end of the eighteenth century, this was the first stone to be named after its discoverer. Major Prehn brought back samples from the Cape of Good Hope near South Africa.
Prehnite can be found world-wide. The samples I currently offer have come from the Mumbai District in Brazil. Generally its coloring will be colorless, opaque white or yellow, or pale to a darker green. It has usually crystallized in compact masses rather than large individual crystals. |
Spiritually...
Prehnite assists us in dissolving avoidance and substitution mechanisms. It allows us to accept unpleasant truths which aids in understanding our own identities.
Emotionally...
Prehnite lets us look at avoided images and memories and aids in dissolving the unpleasant feelings connected with them. It does not bring up the memories, but it helps us to work them through when they have been triggered by new experiences.
Application
Prehnite is most beneficial when laid upon the body with skin contact. It has a reputation to be effective for dissolving fat if several stones are placed over the liver, pancreas and small intestine areas of the body at the same time. It is very beneficial for the 4th or Heart Chakra.
