The fresh, soothing green of green aventurine gleams with a fine, shimmering light – its tiny inner flecks catch the light. This pendant of about 4 cm shows off the stone's cheerful colour in a metal setting.
About green aventurine
Aventurine is a variety of quartz; its characteristic shimmer (known as aventurescence) comes from tiny, mica-like mineral inclusions. The green shade is the best known. In tradition, green aventurine is known as a stone of opportunity, good cheer and momentum, and many regard it as a companion to a light, hopeful outlook. These meanings belong to the stone's cultural story rather than to any medical effect.
Make
The pendant holds the aventurine stone in a zinc-alloy setting and comes without a cord, so you are free to choose a necklace or leather strap to suit it. It measures around 4 cm.
What is it for?
Its fresh green colour goes well with natural, earth-toned clothing and looks lovely beside other green or transparent stones. A calm, cheerful piece for everyday wear.
Good to know
This is a natural mineral, so shade and shimmer may vary slightly from piece to piece. It cleans easily with a soft cloth.
