Crystal System... Blue Aventurine has a trigonal crystal system and is in the mineral class of oxides, the Quartz group. Its coloring is blue iridescent. Simply stated, it is a rough Quartz that obtains its sparkle from tiny deposits of chromium mica. While Aventurines in general are found world wide, generally the blue variation comes from India. Because it is primarily Quartz in its make up, this is one of the 'blue' stones that is safe to make elixers from. I will take this time to remind everyone that caution needs to be exercised in selecting a gem for an elixer. Please refer to my listing (found under Using Crystals) of what not to use for that purpose. What you don't know can kill you if you ingest it. Caution is always the safest course. |

Zodiac Affinity... Folklore... Aventurine received its name around the seventeenth century. It comes from the Italian 'a ventura' which means randomly. This refers to the flecks of tiny mica platelets that occur randomly in the gem. This shade has been used in conjunction with Malachite to help clear mental or emotional blocks by bringing them to the surface. Some prefer to associate it to the Brow (third eye) Chakra because of its deep blue coloring. In my usage, I have found it to be more beneficial at the Throat. With a very soft, slow acting energy, it has helped many ease into finding their voice. When accomplished, it seems to stimulate freer energy flow to the higher Chakras. |
