Green Aventurine: The Stone of Growth
Green Aventurine Affirmation
I open my heart to love and compassion
and allow abundance and prosperity to flow into my life.
Green aventurine is the stone of growth — whatever it touches flourishes! It boosts fertility, and if you’re looking to manifest more abundance in love, money, work, or creative projects, this is your crystal ally! Working with this gem in the spring is especially powerful because it aligns with the season of prosperity, inspiring new ideas and forward motion, bringing good fortune and good luck of all kinds.
Green aventurine is a form of microcrystalline quartz that gets its shimmering green appearance from inclusions of mica. It was highly valued in ancient Chinese culture as a talisman for good luck and prosperity. It was often carried as a lucky charm or placed in wealth corners of homes and businesses to attract positive energy and financial success. Alchemists in medieval Europe believed that green aventurine had the power to transmute base metals into gold or silver. They would place small pieces of the stone in crucibles with these base metals and heat them to high temperatures, hoping to witness its transformation.
Green aventurine activates the Heart Chakra, opening your heart to receive your blessings. It’s associated with the element of Earth and is believed to enhance creativity and inspiration. Artists, writers, and other creatives often work with green aventurine to help stimulate the imagination and bring new ideas to life. It’s especially helpful to students or aiding in the growth of new business ventures. Working with this gem inspires forward motion and brings good fortune and good luck of all kinds.
With its affinity to the element of Earth, green aventurine is also believed to have a strong connection with the spirits of the natural world, such as faeries and other elemental beings. It’s often worked with in shamanic journeying to communicate with spiritual guides and gain insight and wisdom. It is believed to facilitate the journeying process and help the practitioner connect with the energies of the natural world.
Hold green aventurine during meditation, place it on your altar, or wear it as jewelry to receive its benefits. It’s also an excellent choice for crystal grids, and it’s even said that burying it among the roots of your plants when sowing your garden will give them a boost of growing power and ensure a strong harvest of whatever you have planted!
Green Aventurine asks:
Where is your inner garden ready to bloom? What new ideas need nurturing so they can grow?
