Polished Green Aventurine Obelisk

 
A polished Green Aventurine Obelisk, weighing approx. 49 grams and measuring approx. 73 x 20 x 20 mm.

This is a lovely Obelisk in all natural Aventurine crystal. Its colouring is a mid to dark green  and you are also able to see small flashes of mica across the surface of the piece, which become even more noticeable when the obelisk is held to the light. It is a compact obelisk with a lovely, narrow taper.  A great addition to the crystal collection, or a useful healing tool.

PLEASE NOTE: This piece has been photographed in intense light conditions and may appear brighter than it actually is in natural light. 
Aventurine is a feebly translucent, fine-grained to compact variety of Quartzite, the surface of which has a speckled, metallic sheen, usually of a reddish-brown colour, but occasionally yellow, white, blue or green. This appearance is caused by the presence, in the colourless Quartz substance, of numbers of enclosures (scales of mica, plates of chrome-mica fuchsite, etc.), which can always be seen with the aid of the microscope, and sometimes with a simple lens, or with the naked eye. 

Also known as Indian Jade.

Aventurine is said to bring good luck and prosperity, and has often been called the Gambler's Stone. It is great for creativity and self confidence.

Obelisks are considered a symbol of life, rebirth and represent a spiritual connection between Heaven and Earth. They are often built near Holy places or other important sites.
