Aventurine is one of my favorite stones
to carry around. It has many properties, can be green, brown, yellow or even
peachy colored and is relatively easy to find in my local gem and mineral
shops. I am going to discuss green Aventurine since different colors of Aventurine can have different properties.
Some of the
many magical properties of green Aventurine are:
Prosperity, promotes compassion and empathy, increases
creativity, promotes calmness, success in your career, Luck (considered the
stone of gamblers – which would explain why it is so plentiful in Nevada!),
increases opportunities and self confidence, balance emotions and much more.
Element: Earth
Chakra: Heart
Planet:
Mercury
An
interesting historical note: Warriors in ancient Greece would sew Aventurine into
their clothing to preserve courage and optimism.

While
researching this stone I found a site (http://www.psychic-revelation.com)
that suggested that you should use Aventurine for pets who are clumsy. This
just made me giggle because my daughter’s cat Chaco is the clumsiest cat I have
ever known. She is sweet as she can be but that cat could trip over her own
paws standing still! I think I may have to make her a collar with bits of Aventurine sewn in it.
Aventurine is
said to balance energy and improve creativity. As an artist I am always looking
for ways to improve my creativity. I have a bowl of stones that I keep on my
desk which is both functional and decorative. When I am feeling low on
creativity all I need to do is hold my Aventurine stone and meditate. This
usually gives me the jump start I need.
