Recently I listed a beautiful beaded necklace, bracelet, and earring set that I titled Desert Flower. Now the reason behind that is that it reminded me of certain flowering cacti that have gorgeous pink blooms among all the green of the cacti. The set is made with brass findings, rose Swarovski crystal beads, and green aventurine beads. Which brings me to the point of my post, aventurine.

Aventurine is worn to improve eyesight. It is also commonly used in money attraction magick and as a gambler’s talisman. Also used to increase perception, stimulate creativity, and enhance intelligence. It’s powers include mental powers, eyesight, gambling, money, peace, healing, and luck. It is ruled by Air, Mercury, and it is a projective stone.

The above information comes from a favorite book – The Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem, and Metal Magic by Scott Cunningham.
