Physical and emotional
Orange Aventurine reminds us that we can’t do “all of it”, all at once, so there’s no need to get overwhelmed by the big picture. It is good at reducing unnecessary or self-inflicted stress, helping us to take time for ourselves and take more time for pleasure. It is a great stone to have when feeling overwhelmed or worried about the future.
Metaphysical
Orange Aventurine encourages us to stay present in the moment and to respond to what is actually happening around us, rather than getting lost in the past or distracted by future possibilities. It is linked to the Sacral chakra, inspiring creativity and imagination and allowing energy and ideas to flow.
facts
Aventurine is created when liquid magma from a volcanic explosion cools down and transforms into igneous rock. During this cooling down period, silica acid bubbles shift from being a gas/liquid into a solid compound. The bubble becomes a hollow space in the igneous rock and the silica acid becomes Quartz crystals. Trace particles of Iron give Orange Aventurine its color while Mica gives it its sparkle.
