A stone of regeneration, calm and protection.
Prehnite has long been believed to be a stone of prophecy; it is said that indigenous people of South Africa used this "stone of dreaming" to reach other planes of existence and strengthen lucid dreaming. It is also said to be a stone of unconditional love that calms its surroundings, brings protection and peace, eases deep-rooted fears, and keeps us in harmony with nature and the elements. It is also said to connect with higher realms and help with remembering dreams.
In crystal energy work it is associated with the heart and solar plexus chakras, linking the two for heart-centered confidence. Set around a larger crystal, mini gemstones are said to amplify its power.
Crystals have been prized for centuries for their beauty and believed metaphysical properties; Spirit Magicka makes no guarantee of any mystical or healing effect.
