{"product_id":"close-out-heart-aventurine-blue-sapphire-2-2-25","title":"Blue Aventurine Heart - 2.25 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Aventurine Heart is a deep grey-blue stone with a fine metallic glitter that surfaces at certain angles and vanishes at others. The blue is muted and slate-toned rather than vivid, with paler mottling drifting through the body. The polish is high and smooth, and this is a substantial Heart, broad across the lobes and heavy in the hand. Depth of colour and strength of the shimmer vary from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Aventurine is traditionally associated with calm and stress relief, carrying a quieter reputation than its green counterpart and one linked to composure rather than luck. A secondary association with clarity and focus gives it a place around considered speech and thinking, which is why it is often kept where conversations or decisions happen. The size makes it a display piece, and the shimmer rewards a spot where light reaches it directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Calm \u0026amp; Stress Relief\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Clarity \u0026amp; Focus\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Throat, Third Eye\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Libra, Aquarius\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Rabbit, Rat\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Mercury\u003cbr\u003eElements: Air, Water\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 7\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Tectosilicate\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Blue Aventurine\u003cbr\u003eForm: Heart\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 55-60 mm (2.2-2.3 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 122-141 g\u003cbr\u003eListing: Sold by Single Unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlue Aventurine is a quartz, silicon dioxide at Mohs 7 in the trigonal system, carrying dumortierite inclusions. Those inclusions are flat platelet crystals, and light reflecting from them produces both the blue to grey-blue body colour and the metallic glittering effect known as aventurescence that characterises every aventurine variety. That shimmer is the reliable way to distinguish it from Blue Calcite and Blue Chalcedony, neither of which shows it, and it is also considerably harder than blue calcite at Mohs 7 against 3. The material is natural and requires no treatment. It shares the broader aventurine tradition used extensively in Chinese and Tibetan carving. India is the primary commercial source, with additional material from Chile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
