Prehnite Crystal Healing Properties

Prehnite is thought to hold a calm energy and is a gentle, nurturing stone. It is believed to cool down anger and help to quieten restlessness, nervousness and worry. Nicknamed ’emotional soap’, it releases emotional debris from the aura and connects our hearts to nature and the planet earth. It can facilitate the expression of emotions or thoughts and help us to communicate in a non-judgemental way. It can be used to enhance lucid dreaming and banish nightmares.

 History and Uses

Prehnite varies in colour from light green to yellow but can also be colourless, blue or white and a rare orange Prehnite was discovered in the Kalahari Manganese Fields in April 2000. First described in 1788, when it was found in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, it was named after Colonel Hendrik Von Prehn who had commanded the Dutch military forces at the Cape of Good Hope from 1768 to 1780. This stone has been used by South African shamans since ancient times to enhance their powers of prophecy and it is a great ally for readers and healers.
