Prehnite Gemstone Beads

Prehnite, with its unique translucent green hue and glassy luster, is a silicate mineral often found in the cavities of igneous rocks. Composed typically of calcium and aluminum, it forms well-defined crystals that enhance its appeal in bead making. Often showing a pearlescent glimmer, Prehnite is favored for its both aesthetic and mineralogical intrigue.
