Aventurine
The name of the Aventurine stone is a somewhat debated topic as there are many
different theories about the origin of the divine crystal’s name. Some believe
that it is inspired by its delightful shimmering quality. Its name, according
to this theory, comes from the word aventurescence which is the term used to
describe the visual charm of minute particles of a highly reflective mineral
when contained in a larger and less reflective structure.
Others believe that the meaning behind the name of the Aventurine stone is derived
from the Italian word “avontura” which means chance. This is taken to be a gentle
yet firm hint that this crystal will bless your life with prosperity and abundance.
In spiritual terms, the Aventurine crystal is the heart healer. “Anahata” is the name
of the heart chakra to which it is linked and this functions as an activation site for
feelings of love, compassion, gratitude and inner peace and harmony.
