Crystal Knowledge: Green Aventurine

Written by: Christin Ritz

Aventurine occurs in many shades of green, from pale sage to deep moss. Across the spectrum, they resonate with the heart chakra and provide comfort. Not only is green the color of the Heart Chakra, but it is synonymous with growth, which makes a lot of sense, because if we focus on the love radiating from our hearts, we are are sure to manifest our dreams. And manifesting is pretty much the same as growing, don't you think?

Whether you’re wanting to grow emotionally or financially, your friendships, your career or into the person you dream to be - this the crystal for you! Coming from the Italian "a ventura," the name literally means "by chance" and it has been known as an all-around good luck stone for centuries. It is called the "stone of opportunity."

Like many of the most powerful energy crystals, aventurine is a type of quartz. In this case, the crystal fuchsite is also present, giving green aventurine its signature translucent and sparkly appearance, which is called "aventurescence" in the rock world.
