Aventurine with Mica Pencil Point Assorted Crystal with Cap Pendants

Aventurine with Mica Pencil Point Assorted Crystal with Cap Pendants (shop SKU VOGP) is offered as a pendant online and at the bookshop on West 14th Street.

Aventurine is quartz with tiny mica or other inclusions that give a soft sparkle, most often in green, sometimes in red or orange. In crystal traditions, green aventurine is associated with luck and a calm heart. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Because the material is natural, its color and pattern vary from piece to piece. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
