This is a natural green aventurine reed oil diffuser from Minas Gerais, Brazil, cut from a solid block and hollowed for a removable oil tube. It stands 4 to 5 inches tall, 2.5 to 3.5 inches across, weighs 2 to 3 pounds, Mohs 6.5 to 7. The rough exterior is jojoba-finished, with a chrome collar seated into the top. Reeds are not included.
Aventurine is quartz with fuchsite in it, a chromium-rich mica that sits in tiny platelets through the stone and gives it both the green and the shimmer.
That shimmer has a name: aventurescence. It is the quickest way to tell aventurine from ordinary green quartz.
These diffusers are cut and hollowed from solid blocks sourced in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The outside is left rough and finished with a light coat of natural jojoba oil, which deepens the green without adding gloss.
Aventurine is traditionally the luck stone, and the association runs toward opportunity and the nerve to take it rather than luck in the lottery sense. It is linked to the heart chakra and often given at the start of something.
If that resonates, the traditional placement is near the door, so it catches you on the way out.
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 Minas Gerais, Brazil. Natural. Aventurine gets its green from fuchsite mica inside the quartz, not from dye. The stone is untreated apart from a light jojoba oil finish, which we disclose openly.
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 2.50-3.50" L x 2.50-3.50" W x 4.00-5.00" H and weighs 2 to 3 pounds.
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 lot is from Minas Gerais, 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. 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 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.
