A stone of prosperity, luck and emotional restoration.
Aventurine is said to be a good luck gem. The Tibetans worked with it to improve their creativity, believing it would bring confidence, creativity and passion. In crystal energy work it is considered a gentle stone. The chakra system is described as the body’s energy network, linked to its nerve bundles and organs, and aventurine is aligned with the heart chakra, for love and compassion, and the throat chakra, for inspiration and compassion.
Until the 1800s aventurine was called the stone of the Amazonians, the independent, fierce warrior women of ancient Greek myth, who set it into their breastplates as adornment and as a talisman.
Its name comes from the Italian ventura, meaning “by chance.” Legend says a jewelry maker accidentally let metal filings fall into molten glass; once cooled, the glass showed brilliant iridescent sparkles and was used in jewelry, and the stone came to be named after that “accidental” sparkling glass it so closely resembles.
Through the ages, crystals and stones have been collected and prized for their timeless beauty, their rich history and even their potential spiritual and metaphysical properties. We love the idea that crystals may have mystical properties, though nothing we sell comes with any sort of mystical guarantee.
