Crystal - Prehnite 葡萄石

因想了解清楚"綠石榴石"和"葡萄石" 的分別，便在網上找資料，無意中看到一篇文章說出中國有很多商人用"葡萄石"來當冰種玉來賣舟藏珠寶網，真的不說不知。

有人說：『碧綠榴同埋葡萄石係同一樣石，只不過中文稱號未統一之故』
但為何它們的英文名稱都不同呢？

所以它們是兩種原全不一樣的東西，可以從它的的結晶型態來分辨,而且它們各自的"綠"是完全不同。

Prehnite crystallizes in the form of compact granular masses, botryoidal, coumnar, and globular structures, plate-like layers, stalactites, tabular crystals, and prismatic crystals. The colour range includes pale green, dark green, yellow and white.

This mineral can be used to facilitate contact with impalpable entities via the visualization process and through meditation. It provides for contact with the entity as determined by the direction of th user; the direction of the user being determined by a conscious decision or an unconscious desire.

It is a "stone for dreaming and remembering". It also advances the state of meditation and furthers the avenues available during this unencumbered state.

It enhances once ability for prophesy, bringing in the aid of the Divine to inspire. It allows the inner "knowing to prepare, in advance, for situations of which one has no prior conscious knowledge; in these cases, prehnite is considered the stone to assure that the "commandment" to "always be prepared" is followed. The actual predictions which this stone facilitates are usually precise and accurate. Use of prehnite for the activity of prediction should not be take lightly; the most accurate predictions are made available when the concerns are for ones personal spiritual growth.

It can be used in the treatment of disorders of the kidneys, the bladder and the connective tissues, and for gout and anemic disorders of the blood.
