Avanthurine

Avanthurine is one of the varieties of fine-grained quartz, deposits of which can be found in Chile, Norway, China, USA, Australia and other countries.

Aventurine varies in colour from green, warm yellow, to blue, dark cherry and even black. In nature, it is found more often with golden and less often with silver-coloured inclusions. The colour of inclusions is caused by natural shades of "dyes" - minerals (mica, hematite, hetite and others). Aventurine is also characterised by its glassy lustre, which is successfully used in jewellery.

Avanthurine: medicinal properties

It is traditionally believed that aventurine supports a good, positive mood in a person who wears it on the body. In addition, it helps to cope with blood pressure, allergies, bronchitis, relieves patients with cardiovascular diseases. It also helps to heal wounds and removes spoilage. In the East, where aventurine has been used for centuries to make all kinds of jewellery, it is believed that this mineral can relieve nervous tension, improve vision and renew the heart chakra. Avanthurine is also used for wellness treatments, in the form of massage balls.

Avanturine: magical properties

Avanturine is traditionally used in "lunar" magic. This mineral is strongly associated with this heavenly luminary. Depending on what stage the Moon is in, aventurine weakens or strengthens its influence. To buy aventurine means to enhance positive, pleasant emotions. It can charge a person with optimism and faith in a bright future, confidence in their actions, as well as enlighten the mind.

Avanthurine "likes" people who are not burdened with increased responsibility and heavy thoughts. Therefore, it is most often offered as talismans, amulets to young people up to sixteen years old. But even they are not recommended to wear aventurine constantly. The most suitable time is the waning Moon (from the full moon to the new moon).

Aventurine amulets and talismans

Aventurine magic helps people born under such zodiac signs as Pisces, Scorpio, Capricorn, Taurus and Cancer. But even for them, wearing aventurine for more than one lunar phase is contraindicated. For those born under the signs of Gemini, Aquarius or Libra, the use of aventurine as a talisman is most justified at times when you need help or support. After that, it is recommended to remove the aventurine so that it can "rest". It is worth paying attention to the fact that the constant wearing of jewellery made of aventurine can make its owner too gullible and lazy. That is why people born under the sign of Virgo, Sagittarius and Aries wearing aventurine is categorically contraindicated.

The main thing when choosing a stone for a talisman is the recommendations given above. If they are adhered to, aventurine can become a great helper in matters of the heart. And it also promotes the expansion of creative potential, supports and directs creative impulses. In the East, it is still considered a stone-helper of writers, musicians, artists and all those who need the favour of the Muse.
