Prehnite was actually the first crystal to be named after a person, Dutch mineralogist Hendrik von Prehn who discovered it in the late 18th Century in South Africa. Although it is most commonly seen in a soft, apple-green colour, it can also be found in blue, orange and yellow varieties. The Aborigines of Australia believed that Prehnite could absorb and store the energy of the Sun, which it would then release at night.

Prehnite is a powerful dream and prophecy stone that strengthens visualisation and astral projection while boosting intuition. Prehnite also promotes unconditional love and helps to calm the environment by promoting peace. It aids mental decluttering and relieves nightmares and insomnia, making it ideal for use in dream work and meditation. Prehnite has a strong connection to nature, making it a great crystal to use for grounding and connecting to the natural world.
