A market-wide average across qualities and sizes. Your stone's value depends on carat, color, clarity, cut, treatment, and origin.
Prehnite is a calcium aluminum silicate hydroxide that typically forms botryoidal or granular masses and, less commonly, distinct crystals. Gem-quality material is usually translucent to semi-transparent and exhibits soft, apple-green to yellow-green hues, sometimes with a slightly milky or 'jelly' appearance. With Mohs hardness around 6–6.5 and good toughness when free of cracks, it is suited to cabochons and beads, and occasionally faceted stones.
