Aventurine

Green aventurine is the familiar one, flecked with tiny mica inclusions that catch the light and give it a faint glitter. Blue aventurine is the quieter cousin, denser and more uniform. Both are here as towers, palm stones, buddha carvings, tumble bags, and bead bracelets in 8mm and 10mm.

There is also a green aventurine spider with a silver obsidian body, which is either exactly your thing or absolutely not.

Aventurine is a hard, forgiving stone that polishes well and does not chip easily, which makes it a sensible everyday choice. In crystal tradition green aventurine has long been associated with good fortune and opportunity, and it is one of the more commonly gifted stones for that reason.

Green aventurine in particular is one of the better value stones here, so it is a sensible place to start if you are buying a first crystal for someone and do not want to spend much. Every piece is weighed, measured and photographed individually. Hand-picked in Adelaide and posted anywhere in Australia.
