As winter begins to slowly fade and
some bits of green begin to appear on the ground, one can be reminded of
the vibrant color of the gemstone aventurine.. Derived from the Italian word “venture” meaning “by chance”, aventurine is
considered a stone of opportunities and a bringer of good luck. The
stone can increase feelings of positivity and hope. Considered a
heart stone by many, aventurine can help to soothe any old wounds and give one a feeling of calm and joy. It helps one to embrace
change and can give a feeling of newness and restored faith. The
stone can be seen as a sort of “spring cleaning” for our
emotional self.
“Green aventurine's essence is that
of spring bursting forth after a long, dark winter. It's frequency
stimulates renewal on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels,
assisting one in releasing old patterns, disease, and lessons, so new
growth and movement can take place... It soothes emotional wounds and
facilitates the release of outmoded relationships, emotional
patterns, and heartache. Its frequency stimulates a sense of renewed
hope and joy and is very useful for those who have issues of
depression... It acts as an emotional anchor, keeping one rooted in
the heart when emotional storms arise.”
