Aventurine is believed to invite good luck and prosperity into one’s life. It is also believed to be a powerful heart chakra stone that encourages emotional healing and self-love, helping to bring harmony and balance to the heart. Its gentle energy soothes emotional wounds, nurtures action and leadership, and provides an opportunity to heal and release self-doubts or over-analysis.
Aventurine is a natural stone formed from a combination of quartz and feldspar. It is present across the globe, and can be found in Europe, India, Chile, Tanzania, Brazil, and across northern Asia.
Like all gemstones, the unfortunate reality is that many jewelers have no idea where their gemstones come from or how they are sourced. Many go for the best price they can find. But there are serious consequences to supporting unsafe extraction methods in compromised mines.
Gemstone mining is often a byproduct of large-scale industrial mining for gold, copper, and cobalt. These industrial mines have a terrible track record of environmental disregard and human rights violations. The gemstones are considered “byproducts” and thus, are not typically regulated by international law. How they are harvested and how many middlemen traders are involved is rarely disclosed, making it hard to assess the ethicality of the stones.
However, some gemstone retailers are committed to ethical and sustainable practices and voluntarily ensure this information is available to buyers.
