Prehnite, a calcium aluminum silicate with a soft yellow-green to apple-green color and a subtle inner glow.

Grade A polished chips, sold by weight. Translucent to opaque with visible color saturation.

Untreated. Prehnite is typically sold in its natural color in reputable supply.

What is it traditionally used for?

Often kept for the heart and solar plexus, traditionally associated with calm intuition and a quality of love that holds steady boundaries.

How should I care for it?

Wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid extended direct sunlight, which can lighten the color over time.

What does a crystal grade (A, AA, or AAA) actually mean?

Crystal grades reflect visual quality within a single batch. Grade A is standard quality with typical inclusions. Grade AA shows stronger color saturation, cleaner surface, and tighter sizing. Grade AAA represents the top 10 to 15 percent of any batch: exceptional clarity, consistent color, and minimal surface variation. At Beyond Bohemian, grades are assessed by Paul Oliver at point of purchase.

Will I receive the exact piece shown, or one chosen from your stock?

For bulk listings sold by weight or piece count, you receive pieces from the same batch shown in the photos. Each piece is hand-selected at the time of packing. For unique specimens listed individually, you receive the exact piece photographed. The listing will specify which applies.

We work with small-scale operations and family-run suppliers wherever we can verify fair compensation. You can ask about any specific piece and we will tell you what we know and what we do not.

Treatment Awareness: Low (natural color, untreated typical)

Prehnite is a calcium aluminum phyllosilicate within the Silicates family.

Sourced through a community partnership in Erongo, Namibia.

Named after Colonel Hendrik von Prehn, who introduced the mineral to European collectors in the 18th century, making it one of the first minerals named after a person.

In the tradition, Prehnite shows up most often around clarity, calm, and quiet intuition. It's traditionally linked to the Heart and Solar Plexus chakras. If that resonates, keep a piece nearby during focused work or decision-making. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
