Hook lengths range between 1cm basic hooks, 1.5+cm English Locks, 2cm silver hooks – refer to the product photos.
In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the general description or “dimensions” tab.
Prehnite is a calcium aluminum silicate mineral, cherished for its translucent to transparent qualities and serene color palette, typically ranging from pale green to yellow-green. Its vitreous to pearly luster adds to its gentle allure. This gemstone forms in the cavities of volcanic rocks and is often associated with minerals like datolite, calcite, and epidote. Notably, prehnite is not a zeolite but frequently occurs alongside them. Significant deposits have been found in Australia, South Africa, China, and the United States. Once extracted, prehnite is typically cut into cabochons or beads, highlighting its soft, glowing appearance.
The Golden Variety of Prehnite
While prehnite is commonly found in green shades, there exists a rarer golden variety. Golden prehnite exhibits hues ranging from soft yellow to warm golden tones, attributed to specific mineral inclusions during its formation. This variant is particularly prized for its unique color and is often used in jewelry to create pieces that exude warmth and elegance. Deposits of golden prehnite have been notably found in Australia, adding to its desirability among collectors and gem enthusiasts.
Named after Colonel Hendrik Von Prehn, who discovered it in South Africa in the 18th century, prehnite holds the distinction of being the first mineral named after a person. In the gem world, it is sometimes referred to as “grape jade” due to its typical green color and botryoidal (grape-like) formations.
In metaphysical circles, prehnite is esteemed as a stone of prophecy and serenity. It is believed to enhance precognition and inner knowing, allowing individuals to attune to higher levels of awareness. Prehnite is also associated with the heart chakra, fostering unconditional love and compassion. Its gentle energy is thought to quiet the mind, promoting clarity and peace. Practitioners often use prehnite in meditation to strengthen intuition and connect with spiritual realms.
The golden variety of prehnite shares these metaphysical properties, with an added emphasis on enhancing personal willpower and manifestation. The warm golden hues are thought to resonate with the solar plexus chakra, aiding in confidence and personal power. In crystal healing practices, golden prehnite is used to balance energy flow and encourage a positive outlook.
With a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5, prehnite is relatively durable but requires mindful care to maintain its beauty. It is advisable to avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures, as these can damage the stone.
To clean prehnite jewelry:
Store prehnite jewelry separately from harder gemstones to prevent scratches, ideally in a fabric-lined box or a soft pouch. By following these care guidelines, your prehnite will continue to radiate its serene beauty for years to come.
