Green Aventurine Natural Candle Base

For a little glimmer of luck, in whatever colour finds you.

Aventurine is quartz threaded with tiny flakes of mica, which catch the light and scatter it in a soft shimmer called aventurescence. Green, coloured by fuchsite, is the most familiar, but the same effect turns up in red, blue and peach depending on which mineral is doing the sparkling. The name comes from an accident in Venetian glassmaking — a worker once spilled copper filings into molten glass and called the glittering result a ventura, by chance.

Across its colours, aventurine has carried the reputation of the gambler's stone — kept in a pocket for a favourable outcome.

Aventurine is worked with for opportunity and quiet good fortune. It sits with the heart, whichever shade you're holding.

Sheri chooses every piece by hand, cleanses it, and charges it before it's packed here on the Gold Coast.

Durable enough for daily carry.
