Introduction

Green Aventurine guides family harmony and health as a family guardian stone.

Green Aventurine, also known as "Winter Stone," "Ocean Stone," or "Indian Jade," is scientifically termed "Aventurine." It belongs to the quartz family, specifically a chromium-containing mica quartzite, classified as a quartzite jade due to its manganese-derived toughness and oil-green color. Green Aventurine contains chromium mica and microcrystals like pyrite and rutile, causing it to sparkle under light—a feature varying by origin. Quartzite or secondary quartzite jade with manganese-derived toughness falls under this category. India and Brazil are the largest producers. In India, it symbolizes luck and is used in deity worship, earning it the name "Indian Jade." High-quality Green Aventurine from South America rivals jade in texture. Note: Some sellers mislabel it as "Strawberry Aventurine," "Green Strawberry," "Saint Edge," or "Strawberry Quartz," but it is unrelated to crystal.

Energy Properties

Green Aventurine belongs to the hexagonal crystal system, expanding and amplifying energy to bring harmony and stability. In China and India, placing it in the living room promotes family unity and emotional exchange. When space feels uncomfortable, it introduces positive, harmonious energy. The chromium mica content strengthens the heart chakra and vitality, overcoming energy blockages. It aids in unblocking the heart chakra, allowing beneficial energy to flow freely, enhancing energy completeness and activation.

Healing Applications

Place Green Aventurine in the living room to boost positive energy and strengthen heart chakra connections, restoring its health. For those overusing energy, it helps release control over power and desires, returning to balance. During healing sessions, it softens biased energy memories and stubborn, prejudiced consciousness energies from past life experiences.
