These are such beautiful golden prehnite beads! It is the same in person as the picture. In fact, the picture is why I bought it. I never heard of golden prehnite (just the light green kind) but when I saw it I just had to get it. It's hard to explain, but it is a very relaxing and protective feeling stone. It reminds me of the warmth of amber stones with the weight of clear crystal quartz, and a creamy moonstone all in one. There is also a sense of citrine to it, but not much. You have to see it for yourself! It is amazing.
