Tumbled Green Aventurine Gemstones

Think of aventurine as the "four leaf clover" of the mineral world. When you need a bit of good luck, aventurine is the stone you should reach for. It is said to attract money and good fortune. Some even call it the "gambler's stone". But rest assured, it does not have to be used in games of chance in order to bring financial gain. Aventurine magnifies the effects of hard work and dedication to a dream. This truly is a stone of success.

When you are feeling at odds with the world, aventurine works to gently release negative emotions you have bottled up inside, so that you can feel more in tune with those around you. It encourages friendship, harmony, and trust. Keep a piece of aventurine close at hand, and you will feel rejuvenated, both mentally and physically. It helps to alleviate stress, and brings calm contentment.

According to some, it increases psychic abilities, and is useful when practicing divination.

Some charts list aventurine as an alternative birthstone for the month of August. It is also a traditional gift for the 8th wedding anniversary.
