Aventurine is a variety of translucent quartz or quartzite that is usually green with small flake-shaped mineral inclusions. Light entering the quartz strikes these inclusions and reflects from them. This produces a sparkly appearance known as “aventurescence.”
Aventurine may be colors other than green, but green is the most popular, and originates in India and often has the nickname ‘Indian Jade’. It is often used in lapidary work by jewelers.
Aventurine is said to be useful in crystal healing as a stone of optimism. It is said to help people move forward with confidence into new situations and life changes. It is said to help people “take things in stride”. As well it is said to be a stone of “Good Luck”. Green Aventurine is said to harmonize with other members of the quartz family, resonating with nearby quartz stones.
