With a hole of about 0.6 mm, use fine nylon thread, a fine cable, or fine head pins. A bit of gemology : prehnite is a hydrous calcium aluminum silicate that crystallizes in the orthorhombic system. Hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, density of about 2.9. Described in 1788 from samples brought back from the Cape of Good Hope by the Dutch colonel Hendrik von Prehn, it is one of the very first minerals to bear a person's name. The dark needles in these beads are epidote, another silicate that crystallized at the same time. Main deposits : Australia, Mali, South Africa and China. Good to know : the epidote inclusions are entirely natural and add to the value of this variety. Since prehnite is a little less hard than quartz, store these beads away from friction and clean them with a soft cloth. In lithotherapy : prehnite is associated with the heart chakra. It is credited with soothing and acceptance properties; epidote, it is said, would reinforce grounding. The beads you will receive : the photos and the video show the strands from which our lots come. Hand-cut, these triangle beads are not calibrated: each lot of 4 brings together slightly different shapes and heights, with the natural variations of prehnite. It is precisely this irregularity that gives your creations their unique character. 100% natural product : size, shape and color may vary from one bead to another.
