Blue Aventurine Meanings and Uses
Blue Aventurine combines the elements of Wind and Water in a
gentle stone that resonates from the mind to the heart, working calmly,
rationally, and steadily. It enhances the masculine energy in both males and
females, and is a stone of self-discipline and inner strength, assisting one in
making clear decisions and sticking by them. It promotes taking full
responsibility for one’s life, relationships and experiences, while lending the
support needed to empower change when the current reality isn’t working.
Blue Aventurine is mainly stimulating to the Third Eye and
Throat Chakras, opening one to higher spiritual guidance, and revealing psychic
and intuitive abilities that may previously have been blocked. It encourages
open and honest communication and speaking one’s mind and heart. This crystal
not only embodies strength, but honors peace and caring for others. It is a
stone sacred to the Glory Angel, Raphael - the ruler of Mercury and the Angel
of Compassion, Knowledge, Progress, Repentance and Love.
Aventurine is a variety of Quartz characterized by bright
inclusions of Mica or other minerals that give a shimmering or glistening
effect to the stone, referred to as aventure scence, especially notable when
tumbled or polished. Its name is derived from the Italian a ventura or
all’avventura, meaning “by chance,” and refers to the Italian glass from the
1700s, produced when a worker accidentally dropped metal filings into a vat of
melting glass. Once cooled, the result was pleasing with its randomly spaced
iridescent sparkles, and it was used to make jewelry and other items. The name
Aventurine was later given to the natural stone which looked like the
industrial product.
Aventurine is most commonly green, though it also forms in
blue, red to reddish-brown, dusty purple, orange or peach, yellow, and silver
gray. It is mostly translucent and often banded, but an overabundance of an
included mineral may render it opaque. The color of Green Aventurine comes from
Fushite particles within the Quartz, while shades of red, brown and orange are
attributed to Hematite or Goethite inclusions. Peach and yellow Aventurine
include Pyrite with their Mica crystals, Blue Aventurine contains inclusions of
Dumortierite, while the purple variety is colored by Lepidolite
Aventurine is also referred to as Adventurine, Aventurine,
Aventurine Quartz, and Indian Jade. It is used not only in various forms for
metaphysical purposes, but in jewelry, vases, bowls and figurines, as well as a
number of applications such as landscaping stone, building stone, aquaria, and
monuments.
