AVENTURINE
Aventurine, which is also a member of the Quartz family, actually comes in lots of different colours, but the one most often used by healers is the green variety. The sparkly bits in Aventurine are Mica. It is very much a Yang to Rose Quartz's Yin. It represents the 'male' or more 'fatherly' side of the heart. Whereas Rose Quartz makes things safe, harmonises, and feels very holding and nurturing, Aventurine is more supportive, bringing stability, and is very balancing (a quality that all green crystals have). It also connects strongly to nature.
It feels like it gently gives some energetic backbone by its strengthening and stabilising qualities - a bit like the archetypal 'good father' making it safe for us to go out into the world. It can also help with stress by helping someone relax and can calm things down and smooth feelings.
It is mid range in terms of its frequency and the lighter Aventurine can go anywhere in the energy field. Darker pieces could go on the lower three chakras. It is very much an essential to have in any crystal kit as its energy can so often help many people (similar to Rose Quartz).
