Let me Take You On An Aventurine
(This article is a fragment that I intend to round out and complete later).
Aventurine is a semi-translucent variety of quartz that comes in several different colors: green, brown, peach, blue and yellow. However, it is often dyed. I do my best to purchase aventurine that is natural in color. It usually has shimmering mica inclusions, which make it particularly attractive.
Aventurine is a "luck" stone in any color, although if that's what you're looking for, green is particularly powerful. It helps make decisions from the heart and is also good for comfort, support and balance.
Its further properties and its chakra affinity depend upon its color:
Blue: (Throat chakra) Balancing, stimulates creativity and intellect. Assists in seeing the "big picture."
Green: (Heart chakra) A "luck" stone that helps balance emotional states, promotes cheerfulness and feelings of gratitude. It is particularly said to help one be lucky in love.
Peach: (Solar plexus chakra) A stone for writers, artists, musicians and other creatives. It helps balance out negativity and helps the wearer to see increased possibilities.
Red: (Root chakra) Helps one establish a sense of security so that they can grow in creativity, contentment and prosperity.
