Prehnite rates 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. This places it between feldspar and quartz. It handles regular wear but may scratch if stored loose with harder stones like sapphires or diamonds.
Dark mineral inclusions, typically epidote or actinolite, create the moss-like patterns. These minerals became trapped as the prehnite formed in volcanic rock cavities.
Use warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals. The stone can handle gentle cleaning but prolonged chemical exposure may affect its surface.
