A rose by any other name. . . Aedelite is a very bright variation of a pale green stone called Prehnite only the vibrant color of new spring grass. I found this spectacularly matched and graduated, faceted strand on an Australian bead dealer's eBay store. The beads really do speak for themselves. They are not particularly small. The vermeil roundels I paired them with are 12mm and they seem very comfortable with the size of the center five beads which start at about 20mm. I'd never even heard of Aedelite and when I looked it up and the word "Prehnite" came up, I was surprised because traditional Prehnite is pale green without too much blue in it. These definitely are not pale.
