Prehnite

 
Origins
 
First documented in 1774 by Dutch mineralogist Hendrik von Prehn at the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa.
Among the first minerals ever to be named after a person rather than its physical properties.
Used by South African shamans for centuries as a stone for clarity and considered decision making.
Carried by Australian Aboriginal peoples for protection and grounding.
Forms within cavities of volcanic and basaltic rock through slow hydrothermal processes deep within the earth.

Product Description
 
This Mala is formed from 108 AA plus prehnite stones, each one a pale translucent green that shifts in tone depending on how the light falls across it. The stone is quiet by nature. Counted across 108, that quality becomes the defining characteristic of the piece.
 
The stones are strung on black woven silk, its depth making the soft luminosity of the prehnite more visible at each bead. The piece includes seven point five millimetre sterling silver Chinese Fu marker beads framed within signature bead surrounds and is completed with a sterling silver Fu Guru bead.
