EPIDOTE IN PREHNITE
Prehnite is a strongly protective stone, said to be "the healer's healer". It fosters a sense of trust in the Universe and helps you protect your boundaries so it's easier to say "no" when needed. Prehnite is also revitalising and said to bring inner peace. Epidote within the Prehnite is an energy enhancer, so it gives an extra boost to the crystal's energy. It encourages you to approach life with a positive outlook, clearing emotional residue and confusion from the heart chakra.
