A 2.75-inch green aventurine point with soft green color, natural mica sparkle, and polished facets that reveal its gentle translucence.
In stock
This 2.75-inch green aventurine point is shaped and polished to highlight the stone’s natural shimmer—caused by tiny mica inclusions embedded throughout the quartz matrix. The even soft-green tone shifts gently in the light, producing a subtle sparkle known as aventurescence.
Clean facets and a well-defined termination give this point a balanced, geometric profile while preserving the organic texture characteristic of natural aventurine.
Green aventurine is a variety of microcrystalline quartz distinguished by shimmering fuchsite mica inclusions. These chromium-rich mica flakes scatter light, creating the stone’s signature sparkle and its soft green coloration.
Aventurine forms in:
Silica-rich metamorphic rocks
Hydrothermal quartz veins
Mica-bearing layers altered by heat and pressure
India is one of the world’s leading sources of green aventurine, especially in the Mysore and Tamil Nadu regions, where stable geological conditions produce large, even-colored material ideal for carving.

Aventurine has been used for centuries in beads, seals, sculptures, and decorative carvings. Its name derives from the Italian a ventura—“by chance”—a reference to the accidental discovery of sparkling Venetian glass that resembled the natural stone.
Green aventurine remains one of the most widely appreciated forms due to its soft coloration, gentle shimmer, and long history of use in ornamental craft.
Symbolically, green aventurine is associated with:
Optimism and renewal, inspired by its fresh green color
Growth and opportunity, linked to its long-standing use as a “good luck” stone
Gentle balance, reflected in its smooth translucence
Emotional steadiness, tied to its subtle sparkle and calm aesthetic
At 2.75 inches, this point displays aventurine’s unique shimmering quality exceptionally well. The polished facets catch light across the fuchsite inclusions, while the compact size makes it versatile—ideal for shelves, small altars, office décor, and collector displays.
Its cool green tone pairs well with both warm and neutral interior styles.
Clean with a soft cloth and warm water. Avoid abrasive chemicals. Store away from harder minerals to maintain the polished finish.
