Aventurine

Aventurine is a variety of quartz containing tiny mineral inclusions that create a sparkling effect known as *aventurescence*. Green aventurine gets its color and shimmer mainly from fuchsite, a chromium-rich mica, and forms in metamorphic and hydrothermal environments.

Since ancient times, it has been believed to contain the spirits of the forest. Filled with telluric energy, it transmits the full vibration of the plant kingdom, oxygenates the subtle bodies, and removes impurities from the aura, freeing it from mental, emotional, and environmental toxins and recycling them deep within the heart of the Earth. It is a key stone for the heart chakra: it cleanses, activates, and protects it from anything that drains its energy.
