About Green Aventurine
Green Aventurine is a soothing and harmonising variety of microcrystalline Quartz (SiO₂), known for its soft to deep green colour and a subtle shimmer known as aventurescence. This glistening effect is typically caused by tiny fuchsite inclusions, which give Green Aventurine its signature sparkle and gentle, earthy glow.
With a Mohs hardness of 6.5–7, Green Aventurine is a durable and versatile stone, frequently used in carvings, jewellery, tumbled stones, and healing tools. It is one of the most common and popular varieties of Aventurine, beloved for its balancing, heart-nurturing energy.
The finest deposits come from India (especially around Mysore), Brazil, Russia, China, and Tanzania, with Indian Green Aventurine often prized for its rich colour and consistent sparkle.
