Aventurine is a form of quartzite with inclusions of platy mineral inclusions to give it a shimmery appearance.  Green aventurine gets its color and appearance from the inclusion of fuchsite, a chromium muscovite mica, whereas the inclusion of hematite and goethite change the color to brownish hue, generally called yellow aventurine. Aventurine is a high-grade metamorphic rock formed when quartz rich sandstone is subject to very high temperatures and pressures.  Impurities in the sandstone then impart the characteristic colors and luster.

                                                         Uses

Aventurine is used as decorative stone in landscaping, can be carved into a variety of figures and very high quality pieces can be made into jewelry. 

                                                     Meaning

Yellow aventurine is strongly associated with the solar plexus chakra, the center of personal power, self-esteem, and willpower. The stone helps to clear blockages that cause self-doubt and indecisiveness by removing doubt and mental fog and fostering inner confidence.  This will enhance motivation and clarity, providing a boost to your decision-making abilities
