Aventurine is often referred to as the all-purpose healer. This means not only that it is considered by many to be good for physical disorders, but that it is healing on all levels. Green is the color of healing, and Aventurine, as a member of the quartz family, has a concentrated ability to dissolve blockages. Aventurine is a particularly effective crystal for emotional healing (and is especially helpful when worn for this purpose or placed on the heart center during chakra balancing). It helps to balance the emotions, and is one of the best stones to wear or carry during stressful periods. It can also be used in crystal layouts when stress is internalized in the solar plexus area. It is also used with stones which have a seemingly more harsh energy.
If Aventurine is used in conjunction with malachite (especially in the solar plexus area) emotional blockages can be more effectively released and dissolved. I do hope that you don't find quite as many uses for it as I did in the past, but I'm sure that once you've begun to work with Aventurine, you'll be very glad that it's a member of your crystal collection.
