These are AA-grade Green Aventurine raw stones from Minas Gerais, Brazil, sold by the piece or by the pound. Green Aventurine is a quartzite whose soft green color and subtle sparkle come from fuchsite mica inclusions. Each piece runs 0.25-0.75 inch at Mohs 6.5-7, fully natural. A favorite luck stone for pockets.
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.
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. The one thing that hurts it is sunlight: months in a bright window will fade the color, and it does not come back.
Natural green aventurine from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Untreated. The green color is natural and comes from the fuchsite mica inside the rock.
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 0.75 inches on its longest side and weighs 5 to 10 grams. About 48 to 72 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.
Brazil. It came to us through a community partnership, 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. AA 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 GradeSourced through a regional cooperative or community-based workshop. Processing and economic benefit stay local, which means more of the value reaches the people doing the work. 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.
