Trinket #128 - Green Aventurine Pendant

Exhausting weekend = quick trinket. This one is a big hunk of green aventurine held with silver wire and adorned with a little bit of silver chain for movement. I didn't have a necklace chain handy, so this is strung on a piece of hemp cord for now.

Aventurine is actually a form of quartz, and the green is my absolute favorite. Charmsoflight.com describes the healing and metaphysical properties as follows:

"Aventurine is a stone of prosperity.  It reinforces leadership qualities and decisiveness.  Promotes compassion and empathy.  Encourages perseverance.  Aventurine relieves stammers and severe neuroses.  It stabilises one’s state of mind, stimulates perception and enhances creativity.  Aids in seeing alternatives and possibilities.  Calms anger and irritation.  Promotes feelings of well-being.  Aventurine balances male-female energy.  It encourages regeneration of the heart.  Protects against environmental pollution."
