Read our Sourcing Standards →Green Aventurine is a soft, mossy green that occasionally catches the light with a faint shimmer. That sparkle, technically called aventurescence, comes from tiny mica or fuchsite particles included in the stone.
Hand-selected from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Aventurine is a quartzite, an aggregate rather than a single crystal, which is why it reads more like a stone than a transparent crystal.
Green Aventurine is sometimes called the stone of opportunity. It's traditionally worked with for luck, abundance, and emotional balance. It's linked to the heart chakra. Many people keep a piece in a wallet or on a workspace when they want a quiet reminder of openness and possibility.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
