Aventurine
Aventurine is a natural quartz crystal that contains inclusions of other minerals, giving it a sparkly appearance. Some people believe that the sparkling crystals are actually lucky coincidences captured by the stone.
Most commonly found as a green stone, aventurine can also be found in shades of red, orange, blue and yellow.
It is believed to be a stone of good luck and abundance, one that promotes empathy and compassion. It is a popular choice of stone for both jewellery and decorative home objects. Associated with a number of chakras, depending on the colour and inclusions in the stones:
- Blue aventurine is associated with the throat chakra and the third eye chakra
- Green aventurine is linked to the heart chakra
- Yellow aventurine is most often connected to the sacral chakra and the solar plexus chakra
Regardless of its magical properties, aventurine is a beautiful gemstone that adds a touch of luxury to any setting.
