Green Aventurine
Also called Aventurin
Heart-opener for Venus and Mars together. Restores trust.
About this stone
Green Aventurine is a quartz speckled with shimmering mica inclusions — "aventurine" literally derives from the Italian for "by chance," because the effect was first replicated by accident in glass. It is a heart stone, but unlike the purely Venusian Rose Quartz it bridges Venus and Mars: useful when a relationship has lost both desire and care at once, as opposed to one or the other.
