Who is suitable for and what does magical green aventurine bring?

Green aventurine is an ornamental semi-precious stone, which is one of the many varieties of quartz.
Due to its cryptocrystalline structure, the mineral is classified as chalcedony. Gem inserts can be found in silver jewelry and costume jewelry. It is also a valuable raw material for the production of various decorative items. The mineral has living energy that affects human life and health. It is believed that green aventurine plays the role of a magnet that attracts good luck and luck. However, the counterfeit mineral does not have such properties, so when purchasing products made from aventurine, it is important to pay attention to the external characteristics.

History and origin

The blue variety of aventurine is called "Cairo Nights".

This is how the appearance of the mineral, reminiscent of the southern sky strewn with stars, is poetically reflected.

Unlike the reckless green, the blue variety is more noble and restrained. Shimmering inclusions of deep blue embody the mystery of love. Although love is the same adventure.

In the aventurine family, blue stone is the rarest and most valuable.

The history of the name of the mineral is interesting. In the 16th century, at a glass factory in the town of Murano near Venice, metal shavings accidentally fell into the liquid glass mass. The glass came out sparkling. It and subsequently found natural stones with a similar effect were called aventurines. In Italian, peravventura means chance, aventura means a fun adventure.

The shimmering blue is produced by adding cobalt oxide to the glass alloy. In the 19th century, they did not spare a gold frame for the “stone”. The inserts of antique rings, earrings or bracelets are not always natural.

Blue aventurine stone

Over four centuries, the technology for producing aventurine glass has improved, but the works of Venetian masters are becoming more expensive. A gold brooch from the century before last, made of blue glass, framed with diamonds, was auctioned at Sotheby's for $170,000.

Aventurine is a metamorphic rock created when clay and sand are compacted into quartzite or schist.

Use in healing

Many stones, previously and even now, are widely used in folk medicine. Blue aventurine is no exception. Its medicinal properties extend to the entire body:

• for the treatment of skin diseases it is recommended to wear a bracelet;
• to cure ailments associated with disorders of the respiratory system, it is recommended to wear aventurine beads;
• the ring helps stabilize blood pressure;
• a ring in a gold frame can cope with depression and cure mental illnesses;
• earrings help improve vision and also contribute to the rapid conception of a child;
• The belt, which is decorated with blue aventurine, helps to get rid of problems in the digestive tract and improves metabolic processes in the body.

To heal, you do not need to wear the products constantly. Wearing it for longer than a month is not recommended. Aventurine in silver has an enhanced healing effect. But its regular use for prevention makes the body invulnerable to diseases.

The pebbles that can be seen in the photo are used for therapeutic massage. For men, the stone helps restore potency. Women are often recommended to wear it when they have been unable to conceive a child for a long time.

Physicochemical characteristics

Blue aventurine is a semi-precious or ornamental stone, a type of quartz. The color range from blue to blue-black creates an admixture of cobalt.

The structure also contains fine-grained mica flakes, chlorite and hematite. Light, reflected from the scales, causes the stone to shine (adventure).

Features of the blue mineral

Bluestone is a type of quartz deposit. It was formed during the formation of a metamorphic layer, secular compaction of rock, and crystallization of clay sand grains. The structure contains small grains of mica, chlorite and hematite fragments. The saturation of the flicker depends on the amount of the latter.

Blue aventurine is considered the most valuable and rare of all varieties. It is difficult to describe it by characterizing the main tone. The surface pattern sparkles and shimmers with inner gold. It seems that a gold bar or a small sun is hidden in the rock; they break through the opaque content, scattering and changing the saturation of blue. Mining of the natural blue mineral is small. The deposits are located in the following territories:

1. India, Jaipur state.
2. Austria, city of Salzburg.

Among the peoples of Indian tribes, “Nights of Cairo” was a talisman for snake charmers. For a long time, only residents of these countries knew about the mineral. Aventurine came to Russia in the 18th century. It was discovered in the rich Ural mountains. Blue inserts immediately became fashionable. Large samples were used to create objects for interior design. Candlesticks, vases, and cutlery handles have been preserved.

Due to the insignificance of reserves, the breed is sent directly to jewelry workshops. The demand for products is very high, it is impossible to satisfy everyone who wants to have original jewelry. Therefore, not all even large retail outlets can see a blue gem.

Medicinal properties

In Rus', blue stone was used to heal wounds, treat the evil eye and remove damage.

Eastern healers believed that the gem improves vision, relieves nervous tension, and helps the heart and blood vessels.

Modern healers and lithotherapists use the healing properties of the stone for the following problems:

• diseases of the cardiovascular system;
• asthma or bronchitis;
• allergies;
• hair loss;
• prostration;
• indigestion.

Eczema, psoriasis, and other skin ailments are treated by applying the stone daily to the affected area or by constantly wearing it on the body.

Mining and stone processing

Blue aventurine is the rarest variety of quartzite. There are two deposits of it in the world that are on the verge of depletion:

• in India;
• in Austria.

In Russia there are deposits of aventurine in the Urals. Mostly golden gems are found there, but blue stones are also occasionally found.

Found gems are immediately sent to jewelers. They are given a variety of shapes and then polished.

Summarizing information

The energy of the bowels of the earth can cure many ailments and influence human behavior and mood. Blue aventurine is one of the most mysterious crystals. Today, natural stone is quite difficult to find, and accordingly its price will be sky-high.

As you know, each zodiac sign has its own gem. Aventurine protects earth signs. Neutral towards water. Fire signs are contraindicated from wearing amulets made from this mineral. Air signs can wear it once or twice a month, when there is an urgent need to make the right decision, there may be somewhere to take a risk, but they cannot decide this on their own. Constant wearing, every day, is not recommended even for earth signs. The influence of the stone is too powerful, even on people whose biofield is particularly strong. Experienced esotericists themselves do not wear such a ring every day.

Who is suitable according to their zodiac sign?

According to the zodiac sign, the blue variety is suitable for Taurus and Virgo. Signs of the Air element (Libra, Aquarius and Gemini) should wear jewelry periodically for important events.

Definitely! Not really

Compatibility with other stones

Aventurine is a stone of the earth element. It is “friendly” with all minerals, except for transparent fiery gems such as diamond or sapphire.

Artificial analogues

The rarity of the natural blue variety of the mineral has encouraged people to create imitations.

A worthy option is the synthetic stone “Cairo Nights,” which is visually indistinguishable from natural stone. Some people value it more than natural.

The basis is Murano (Venetian) glass - an alloy of quartz sand, soda and dyes. Real Murano has been made in Italy for nine centuries using traditional technology. The result is high quality and beautiful.

However, there is not much of it on sale.

Most products made from aventurine are imitations of Murano, created using primitive “aventurine” technology.

Where is it used?

Aventurine in blue shades is used only for beauty or healing paraphernalia. It is more expensive than analogs of other colors, but buying a stone is problematic.

Blue aventurine jewelry is framed with white material. Natural stones are awarded platinum or gold; imitation stones are silver, cupronickel, jewelry or rhodium-plated alloy, and medical steel.

Blue gems in brooches, earrings, and pendants are complemented by stones of other shades. Most often these are sardonyx, coral, labradorite, rhinestones, cultured pearls, lapis lazuli, and crystal.

How to spot a fake

The blue mineral, along with the golden brown one, is the most often counterfeited. The ancient Egyptians, Venetians and Chinese knew how to do this. But their product was distinguished by quality, which cannot be said about modern followers.

You can distinguish a fake by knowing the qualities of the stone:

• Shine. Natural stone is distinguished by aristocratic minimalism: the blue variety sparkles less than the yellow or cherry variety. There are specimens that are not shiny, but with a faint shimmer coming from the depths of the stone. Instances with high gloss are fake.
• Irisation. Rainbow tints are noticeable on the surface of the mineral; the fake has a normal shine.
• Color. Natural pastel tones, matte.
• Structure. Natural stone has microscopic cracks and uneven color distribution, often with a grayish tint. Glass is endowed with an impeccable deep blue.

Natural stone glows slightly in the dark, unlike glass.

Glass is easy to scratch with quartz, but mineral is difficult to scratch.

Ring with blue aventurine

A certificate or other document confirming authenticity will help you avoid counterfeiting. It is always attached to blue aventurine.

Place of extraction

Aventurine is a rock belonging to the quartz group. Its composition is a mixture of quartzite and mica, which is why the “star” glow appears.

The blue variety of the stone is rare. It is mined in Jaipur (India) and in Austria (Salzburg Federal State). No deposits of the blue mineral have been discovered in Russia, but another rare species is being mined - golden brown. This gem was well known to the Slavs and was called “gold spark” among them.

The natural blue stone aventurine is often counterfeited. Even the ancient age of the jewelry and an expensive gold frame do not guarantee the presence of natural stone in it, since fakes of “Cairo Nights” have been produced since the 18th century.

Interesting! Aventurine is quite fragile, it is no stronger than ordinary ceramic tiles.

How to wear and care

It is believed that aventurine can influence a person’s energy, calm him down or make him irritable or weak. Shiny pebbles are not always appropriate and not everywhere; they need to be properly cared for.

How to wear jewelry

Jewelry with blue aventurine suits both brunettes and blondes. Light inserts with golden sparkles in silver are appropriate for young girls, darker ones, with less glitter in gold, for older ladies. Natural “Cairo Nights” will decorate an expensive evening wardrobe; copies with moderate shine are worn to the office, to a party or a day out.

It is better to wear jewelry on the waning moon, in autumn and winter.

In spring and summer, the stone pushes the owner to take rash actions. This applies to communicating with people, career or spending money.

You should not use the amulet for more than five days in a row.

If discomfort appeared earlier, you need to remove it and evaluate your condition. The power of the stone increases in silver.

Tips for care and storage

From physical dirt, jewelry is cleaned with soapy water in a spacious container so that the jewelry fits freely and completely. Problem areas are treated with a soft brush and rinsed.

Tarnished jewelry is refreshed by washing with warm soapy water and polishing with a soft cloth. Chemicals are prohibited.

Store jewelry in a durable box, soft on the inside, or in fabric bags.

The stone does not like sudden changes in temperature.

The bad energy of the mineral is washed away with running water. To recharge, the stone is exposed to the light of the moon.

Nemongo about Aventurine

Natural blue aventurine is very rare today. More common colors are dark green and dark brown. The only deposit of the stone is in India, near Jampur. The color palette is determined by the percentage of inclusions. Stone composition:

• mica;
• hematite;
• rutile and others.

The higher the percentage of hematite, the less the flickering effect will be. Due to the fact that the natural mineral can be found very rarely, its price will be quite high. Blue aventurine can easily scratch glass and other loose minerals. Only diamonds and sapphires surpass it in this.

Like any gem, blue aventurine needs careful care and storage conditions. Rings, bracelets, earrings and other jewelry should be placed in separate boxes with a soft inner surface. If the products have lost their shine and become dull, they can be washed with soapy water and then polished with a soft cloth.
