Green Aventurine is a form of quartz distinguished by its shimmering appearance, known as aventurescence. This effect is caused by tiny mineral inclusions, most commonly Fuchsite (a chromium-rich mica), which gives the stone its beautiful green colour and sparkling, sub-vitreous lustre. It is usually opaque and is often cut into cabochons, beads, and figures, making it a highly popular and durable choice for all forms of jewellery.

Green Aventurine is known as the "Stone of Opportunity and Comfort." It is often considered the luckiest of all crystals, particularly in manifesting prosperity and wealth, or increasing favour in competitive situations. It carries a comforting and harmonious energy that settles feelings of emotional turmoil and promotes a compassionate, optimistic attitude. It encourages perseverance, leadership qualities, and the honourable pursuit of one's goals.

Hardness: 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale (making it durable for daily wear).

Chakra: Primarily the Heart Chakra (for compassion, emotional comfort, and healing).

Zodiac Sign: Taurus, Aries, and Virgo.

Benefits: Attracts luck, prosperity, and wealth, promotes emotional comfort, healing, and harmony, encourages perseverance and optimism, instills leadership qualities and decisiveness, and releases old habits and attachments.
