Green Aventurine

Luck – Growth – Love

Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

– Dalai Lama XIV

Lucky horseshoes, four leaf clovers, gold coins, pigs… the list of lucky symbols is endless. However, the one lucky object you’ll want by your side, whether you’re heading to the slot machines or not, is green aventurine.

Known as the gambler’s stone, green aventurine is advantageous to everyone. We all come to points in our lives where we could go down one path or the other. Green aventurine helps you choose the most abundant path for growth.

Historically, the word aventurine comes from the Italian word ‘all’avventura’, which means ‘by chance’. In the 1700s, Italian glass was created by accident when metal filings were dropped in a container of metal glass. Once cooled, the result was stunning with its speckles of luminous sparkles. Later on, the name aventurine was given to the natural crystal, which resembled the man-made product.
