Meaning & history
In crystal tradition, green aventurine is the stone of luck, opportunity, and the heart chakra, a favorite for good luck and gentle love and happiness practices. Its name comes from the Italian "a ventura," meaning "by chance," a nod to the way its sparkling flecks catch light unpredictably. Many people carry a little heart like this one as a daily token of optimism, and its small size makes it easy to slip into a pocket or bag without a second thought.

Care & cleansing
Green aventurine is a fairly durable quartz at about 6.5-7 on the Mohs hardness scale, so it stands up well to daily carrying. Clean it with a soft, damp cloth and dry it promptly; avoid prolonged soaking, harsh chemicals, and extreme temperature swings, which can dull its natural shimmer over time. Each heart is natural, so the depth of green, shimmer, and exact size vary slightly from piece to piece.
