These are A-grade Green Aventurine crystal chips from Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe, sold by the piece or by the pound. Tiny fuchsite mica platelets inside this quartz catch the light, the sparkle that defines aventurine. Each chip runs 0.25-0.50 inches at Mohs 6.5-7, fully natural and untreated. A favorite abundance stone for crystal grids.
Aventurine is part of the quartz family.
We bring these chips in from Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe.
Aventurine is traditionally a stone for luck, openness to what comes your way, and opening to connection, with yourself and others. It's traditionally linked to the heart chakra. If that resonates, set one on a shelf where your eye lands on it during the day. Let it become part of your own quiet routine.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Green Aventurine sits at 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
Natural green aventurine from Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe. Untreated.
You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 0.25 to 0.5 inches on its longest side and weighs 0.25 to 1 grams. About 400 to 800 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.
Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
This batch is from Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe. It came to us through an artisan network, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it is listed, not taken on the supplier's word. A on this listing means stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing than the batch average. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
How We GradePurchased through a known network of individual artisans or family mining teams. Each piece traces back to a named producer or workshop. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
