Aventurine Aventurine was used 2.5 million years ago in Ethiopia to make tools, & the ancient Etruscan civilization in Italy associated it with Thalna, the goddess of childbirth. In China, Aventurine was the sacred stone of Guanyin Pusa, the goddess of compassion & unconditional love. The Tibetans used Aventurine to carve the eyes of statues, which might be why some also believed that wearing the stone improved myopia, which is the condition that causes far-away objects to appear blurry. Aventurine is associated with the 4th Chakra, also known as the Heart Chakra, & is believed to encourage emotional healing & self-love, bringing harmony & balance to the heart. Its gentle energy is thought to soothe emotional wounds, nurture action & leadership, & provide an opportunity to release self-doubts. Primarily connected to Taurus, Virgo, & Libra, Aventurine is also linked to Aries, Gemini, Cancer, & Leo.

Quartz Quartz is the second most abundant mineral on Earth, & we have found quartz crystal objects that date back to 75,000 BCE. The ancient Greeks likened it to ice & named it as such. 'Krystallos' translates to 'ice' in Ancient Greek, & this formed the origin for the word 'crystal' that we use today. This powerful crystal is said to amplify positive energy, providing clarity, focus, & growth. Clear Quartz is associated with the 7th Chakra, or Crown Chakra, & is believed to dislodge stagnant energy, thus restoring an active energy flow for the expansion of consciousness. Quartz is often recognized as the birthstone for April, & is linked to Aries & Taurus zodiac signs.
