It stands about 4 to 5 inches tall, runs 2.5 to 3.5 inches across, weighs 2 to 3 pounds, and rates Mohs 6.5 to 7. The rough exterior is hand-finished with natural jojoba oil and a chrome collar seats 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.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
