Prehnite Jewelry

Considered a feminine stone with masculine properties and wearing Prehnite Jewelry is thought to improve endurance rather than strength.

Considered a gemstone of Libra--which is often described as an iron fist in a velvet glove. Libra is ruled by the very feminine Venus, but ironically enough, Libra is also a masculine sign, denoting a deep core of strength beneath the charm.

Often mentioned as being a good gemstone for meditating and astral projection. This gemstone is considered so strong in this regard, that Obsidian is recommended in conjunction with Prehnite to ground the spirit.

Said to aid in contacting entities of all kinds, including angels, spirit guides and Extra-terrestrial beings.

Thought to vibrate with the Upper Chakras.

Healing Properties: Thought to help process fat, especially if worn next to the skin near the pancreas and liver.
