The light green stone was given its name by Freiberg mineralogy professor Abraham Gottlob Werner, who used it to honor the Dutch Colonel Prehn. The latter had brought the mineralogist samples of the mineral from South Africa at the end of the 18th century. The two most common synonyms "Cape emerald" and "Cape chrysolite" also date from this time. +++ Modern gemstone science according to Michael Gienger estimates the effect of prehnite to dissolve unconscious repression and avoidance mechanisms as well as to promote the conscious analytical processing of inner and outer perceptions. +++ The length of the Prehnite strands is approx. 38.40cm, unless otherwise stated for the individual strand.
