Prehnite Palm Stone (medium) — Nature's Pale Green
Prehnite is a rare, pale greenish-white silicate mineral, first discovered in South Africa and named after Dutch mineralogist Hendrik von Prehn. Its unique, near-translucent greenish hue and subtle crystalline structure set it apart from other green stones.

The Prehnite palm stone can be placed on a shelf, in a mineral display case, or as part of a natural materials decorative arrangement.
