Gemstones: Aventurine

Aventurine is a member of the quartz family. It contains small inclusions of shiny minerals which give the stone a sparkling effect. Inclusions of mica will give a silverish sheen, while inclusions of hematite give a reddish or grayish sparkle.  It ranges in color from green, peach, brown, blue and a creamy green.

Aventurine has been used as a lucky talisman and is a popular stone for gamblers.  It is also used to reduce stress, develop confidence, imagination and improve prosperity.  According to believers in the power of stones and crystals, Aventurine's strongest mental healing characteristic is its ability to ground an individual emotionally. Aventurine is related to and found to heal and align ailments of the forth Chakra (energy center), which is the Chakra associated with the heart.
