Read our Sourcing Standards →Aventurine is the green side of the quartz family, colored and given its soft shimmer by tiny inclusions of fuchsite mica. A hard, durable stone at Mohs 7. Worth knowing: green glass is sometimes sold as aventurine, real aventurine runs cooler in the hand and carries natural inclusions. We bring these in from Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Aventurine is traditionally the stone of opportunity, kept nearby for openness, growth, and a little quiet confidence. It's most often linked to the heart chakra. If that resonates, give it a spot you pass often and let it become part of your routine.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
