Aventurine

Aventurine is a quartz with tiny flakes of mica that give it a soft glitter when it catches the light. Most of what we stock is green, with blue and yellow aventurine tumbles alongside. This is one of our biggest ranges: tumbles by the bowlful, chip and bead bracelets, star pendants, keychains, zodiac pieces and a mini pendulum. Green aventurine is traditionally called the stone of luck and opportunity, which is why so much of it goes out as a small gift. From a single small tumble upward, with free pickup in Kaiapoi or NZ-wide courier.
