Meaning and history of Prehnite
Australian Aborigines believed that Prehnite could absorb and store energy from the sun. She rebroadcast it at night, thus allowing her to warm up and repel the creatures of the night.
In South Africa, shamans considered that Prehnite helped make good decisions to guide the community.
Its name was given to it by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1813 in honor of the Dutch commander Hendrik Von Prehn, whom he believed to be the discoverer of this mineral.
But in reality, the oldest description was made in 1771 by Balthazar Georges Sage under the name of Cape Chrysolite.
This is the first stone to be named after a person .
