Aventurine stones are crystals that contain a good amount of
quartz in them, along with inclusions of various other minerals, which gives them
their specific color.
They are important stones to have within your collection for
quite a few reasons.
One major reason is that the quartz within them gives these
crystals a strong ability to amplify energy.
The Aventurine stones have slightly different metaphysical
properties depending on the color.
This means each of the different colored stones have
separate sections listing their properties.
Aventurine quartz crystals have been found in Italy, Brazil,
India, China, Tibet, Nepal and Russia. The name Aventurine comes from its
quality of "aventurescence", which means the amount of reflective
ability of the stone.
The most common variety of this crystal is the Green
Aventurine. The color of this variety of crystal may also be red and blue and
some lesser known colors such as white, brown, peach, pink, orange, yellow and
grey.
Some colors are really just shades of the other colors. A
variety of minerals is combined with the quartz in the Aventurine stones, and
create the different colored stones.
Each of the different colors has different added minerals,
with specific metaphysical properties in their own right. Because these
qualities are added to the energy of the quartz, each of the different colored
stones has unique metaphysical attributes.
All the colors will support you to balance the male and
female energies within you. Leadership qualities are said to be enhanced by
using any colors of Aventurine stones.
