Healing Properties of Aventurine

Believed by crystal healers and New Age followers to have the power to bring healing to the body and soul, aventurine is a semi-precious stone with an overall light green color that is believed to enhance emotional awareness and specifically help in healing emotional and physical ailments of the heart.

Physical Healing

Helpful in healing the lungs and adrenal system, metaphysical healers also consider aventurine to aid in treating fevers, migraines, hypertension, inflammation and nervous system disorders.

For the Mind and Emotions

Having the ability to ground an individual emotionally, aventurine also enhances the ability to compassionately relate to other people. Assisting in establishing a state of mind that is free of fear and anxiety, aventurine amplifies mental concentration and is helpful in discovering creative solutions to challenges in life.

Aventurine Worn as a Necklace

Through healing imbalances existing within the heart chakra, aventurine helps dispel blocked energy and helps heal the emotional heart so that it is able to fully give and receive love. This makes wearing aventurine as a necklace ideal, as the rounded beads will lie directly on the area of the heart chakra. Through wearing an aventurine necklace, the physical heart becomes strengthened, as aventurine helps dispel the organ's low and disharmonious energies. After one organ is strengthened, healing aventurine energy is said to move on to the next organ and in time the entire body becomes strengthened.

How Aventurine Works

The energy of the stones begins to fill the aura when aventurine spheres are worn around the neck. Through inhaling, the aventurine energy first enters the body through the lungs. Next the healing energy enters the bloodstream, permeating every cell of the body. The aventurine energy begins to collect first in the area of the body that needs healing the most.

Selecting Aventurine for Healing

There are two basic varieties of aventurine, light green and dark green. While they both technically have a light green background, only the dark green variety contains dark green flecks, which will allow a deeper healing effect.

Healing Methods

For healing the heart and emotions, aventurine should be worn as a necklace. Another option is to place aventurine stones upon the heart during a meditation practice.
For general pain relief, an aventurine stone or necklace is simply held to the skin on the point where the individual is experiencing the most pain. Aventurine is said to emanate soothing vibrations to the area.
To assist in whole-body healing, prepare a warm foot bath containing lavender oil. Place aventurine stones or an aventurine necklace onto the bottom of the water, rest the soles of the feet upon the stones and relax.
