Dark Green Aventurine

A necklace of rounded Dark Green Aventurine gemstone crystals initiates a deep purification of your physical body, especially its vital organs. It purifies and uplifts the organ that is weakest and has the most limitations.

The Earth produces two basic varieties of green Aventurine: Light Green and Dark Green. The light green variety displays few or no dark green flecks in a light green base. The dark green variety is actually Light Green Aventurine so infused with dark green flecks that it appears dark green. Therefore, the light green variety that contains no flecks radiates one type of energy, and the dark green variety offers two: the light green energy and the energy of the flecks.

Both the light and dark green energies focus their effects on organs. The light green energy uplifts and strengthens an organ by encouraging its healthiest cells to distribute their vitality throughout the organ. The dark green flecks expel the organ's low and disharmonious energies.

Of the two types of Aventurine, Dark Green Aventurine works most deeply—in part, because Dark Green Aventurine offers the effects of both the light and dark green vibrations. Nonetheless, when you wear a Dark Green Aventurine necklace, its primary effects are those of its dark green vibration—that is, it expels the organ's low and disharmonious energies. Dark Green Aventurine not only drives out an organ's disharmony and disease, it strengthens the organ. In Dark Green Aventurine, the light green component takes on a supporting role: it helps vitalize the organ, enabling it to more easily throw off the disharmony being expelled by the dark green vibration.

When you wear either Dark or Light Green Aventurine spheres around your neck, the Aventurine's energy fills your aura and enters the physical body through your breath. As with anything inhaled, the Aventurine energy first enters your lungs, then your blood stream, and then every cell in your body. This is how the whole body becomes introduced to Aventurine energy. As the particles of Aventurine energy are distributed to every cell in the body, they maintain communication with each other. When enough Aventurine energy has permeated your body, it detects the organ with the most disharmony. Then, all the Aventurine energy already in your body, plus any more that is breathed in, surrounds and begins to enter that organ.

Every organ, even a diseased one, has areas that are healthier than others. It is in these healthier areas that Aventurine’s energy first establishes itself. Once Aventurine energy gains a foothold in the organ, it makes room for more of itself to enter by expelling disharmonious energies from the organ. Then it gradually distributes itself as evenly as possible throughout the organ. As more and more Aventurine energy enters the organ, it forces out disease and disharmony while uplifting and strengthening the organ.

With both types of Aventurine, when the target organ is no longer the most disharmonious in the body, the Aventurine energy slowly leaves the organ. Then it finds the next organ with the greatest degree of disharmony and begins to work there. The Aventurine continues this process for as long as you wear it. If you wear Aventurine long enough, it's possible that it will treat every organ, including the organ it originally targeted. The longer you wear Dark Green Aventurine, the stronger and healthier your organs will become. Naturally, this will lead to a strengthening of your entire body.

Dark Green Aventurine can help those who aspire to greater spirituality and yet are unable to keep their attention on Spirit because their awareness is continually drawn to the body’s disharmony, pain, or distress. As Aventurine helps your body work through a condition and lifts some of its burden, you will find it easier to expand your awareness to include other areas of life. With this opening of awareness, you may come to terms with the reasons for your ailments and more easily learn the life lessons associated with them.

Contraindication: Drugs and Dark Green Aventurine

Dark Green Aventurine should never be worn by or placed on the body of someone who is taking toxic drugs as part of another therapy, such as in chemotherapy. If the Aventurine is targeting an organ with drug residues, the Aventurine may recognize these residues as disharmonious and work to loosen and dispel them from the organ. If the organ has been accumulating drugs for years, a potentially serious situation may arise. When the Aventurine starts moving these drugs and their energies out of the organ and into the body, they will start circulating there, and the body may not be able to handle the influx and remove them. For people who wish to enjoy the benefits of Aventurine but who are taking toxic drugs or who have a history of taking them, it is best to wear Light Green Aventurine for some time before using Dark Green Aventurine.

Deep Breathing

When an organ is surrounded by Aventurine energy, it recognizes that a change is about to occur and that it will no longer be able to hold onto its disease. Physical matter often resists change, and anything that is diseased is especially resistant to the healing energy of Aventurine. A disease is also like a living entity. It knows that the presence of Aventurine energy is the beginning of its demise, so naturally it will want to push the energy away—and will do so with all its might.

You can help the Aventurine energy enter the target organ by breathing deeply. Deep breaths bring more oxygen to the organ. The Aventurine energy latches onto the oxygen molecules and rides them into the organ. In this way, deep breathing increases the amount of Aventurine energy entering the body. Therefore, when you wear Aventurine, it is advisable to periodically breathe deeply for a minute or two. People with serious organ conditions should breathe deeply as often as possible. When deep breathing, care should be taken not to hyperventilate.

Deep breathing will be most effective when your aura is saturated with Dark Green Aventurine energy. If you are wearing a therapeutic necklace of 10-mm spheres, your aura will probably become saturated within fifteen minutes. It may take up to forty-five minutes if you are wearing 8-mm spheres.

Children

Young children should generally not wear a Dark Green Aventurine necklace made of larger than 6-mm spheres, unless the child has a serious condition or the necklace is being used to ease a temporary condition.

Animals

Both Dark and Light Green Aventurine can assist all forms of life, including animals. A collar of Aventurine is a wonderful gift for a dog or cat who is unwell or whose health you wish to fortify.

Powerful Partners: Dark Green Aventurine and Emerald

Anyone with a physical disease, especially one involving an organ, can benefit greatly by wearing the strongest combination of physically healing gemstones yet known: Dark Green Aventurine in one necklace and Emerald in another. When working on healing a physical condition, Emerald and Aventurine are indispensable. Indeed, if all you had were a solid necklace of Emerald and a solid necklace of Dark Green Aventurine, your gemstone "tool box" for physical-body healing would be nearly complete.

Emerald carries the green color ray. The green ray raises the vibrations of the physical body and provides it with powerful nourishment, vitality, and healing. Often those in pain resist the influx of Emerald’s green ray nourishment. By focusing on their discomfort and tightening up against the pain, they inadvertently resist the entrance of the green ray. Wearing a Dark Green Aventurine necklace along with Emerald encourages the body to relax and open itself to the green ray’s healing vibration.

When you wear Dark Green Aventurine alone, it expels disharmony from your weakest organ. A small amount of this disharmony is neutralized by the Aventurine's own light green vibration. It is then up to your body to eliminate the rest—that is, unless you also wear a necklace of Emerald. The Aventurine focuses the Emerald's green ray on the organ. The green ray not only uplifts the organ; it also neutralizes much of the disharmony expelled by the Aventurine. In this way, Emerald relieves your body of the burden of eliminating much of this disharmony. To support the expulsion of disharmony from your body, you can also perform other therapies that boost your overall vitality and support your organs of elimination.

Because Dark Green Aventurine and Emerald work so powerfully together, people with seriously diseased organs are advised to wear them together. Ideal would be a necklace of therapeutic Dark Green Aventurine spheres and another necklace of therapeutic Emerald. One should continue to wear them both, even if it appears that a healing has taken place. Once the energy of a disease has entered the body, it often lingers—sometimes for an entire lifetime—after the disease’s physical manifestation has been cleared.

Wear It Around Your Neck

One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use a Dark Green Aventurine necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems. 

Special Therapies

You can also use Dark Green Aventurine for more focused treatments. The simplest treatment is to place it on a specific area of your body to focus its healing energies there. For example, you can curl up the necklace and place it on an ailing, injured, or painful area to accelerate the area’s recovery. When using Dark Green Aventurine this way, for maximum effectiveness, cup your hand over the gems. Here are five other focused treatments you can perform with this gem:

Pain Relief

One Dark Green Aventurine necklace is held on a painful area of the body to ease the pain. The Aventurine's wave-like emanations have a soothing and healing effect on the painful area. View instructions.

Footbath for Whole-Body Healing

Dark Green Aventurine necklaces are placed on the soles of the feet to awaken the entire body to the presence of disharmony and to provide distressed areas with a steady supply of healing energies. This therapy stimulates the healing of an acute illness, a chronic condition, or any condition that has stalled in its healing. View instructions.

Headache Therapy

Dark Green Aventurine and Lavender are used to prevent or relieve a migraine or any other type of headache. View instructions.

Directing Aventurine's Benefits

Lavender is used to focus Dark Green Aventurine's healing energy on an extremity or a non-vital part of the body. Placing Lavender on an ailing area opens the area to more life force and draws the Aventurine's healing energy there. View instructions.

Organ Detoxification

Dark and Light Green Aventurine necklaces are used to promote maximum detoxification and healing in a particular organ. Dark Green Aventurine is worn around the neck to saturate the organ with its healing energy and to expel disharmony. Light Green Aventurine is placed on the organ, where it uplifts the organ's vitality by directing life-giving energy toward the organ's healthiest cells. View instructions.

Time Guidelines

The time it takes for Dark Green Aventurine to complete its work depends on the size and quality of the Aventurine being worn. It also depends on the degree of toxicity in the target organ and the overall level of toxicity in the body.

To illustrate the time it takes for Aventurine to do its work, we can place an organ’s disease or the degree of toxicity on a scale of zero to five: zero indicates perfect health, and five indicates a level of toxicity so great that virtually no life is left in the organ. We will also assume that therapeutic, exquisite-quality 10-mm Dark Green Aventurine spheres are being worn.

People whose conditions register one on this scale should wear Dark Green Aventurine continually for one or two months. Individuals in this category include those who are relatively healthy but who have aches and pains or organs that are not as strong as they would like them to be. If Emerald is also worn, the time required can be considerably reduced. Those with conditions registering two may need to wear Dark Green Aventurine continuously for six months. Those with conditions registering three may need to wear the Aventurine for a year or more. If worn with Emerald, both of these times can be cut in half.

Those whose conditions register four and five must have very toxic bodies for their organs to possess such a low degree of life force. These individuals will need to wear Aventurine continually for at least three to five years. Again, the use of Emerald will greatly reduce this time requirement. Unfortunately, a body that is this toxic may not live that long unless it is supported by other therapies. These could include other gemstone therapies.

Cleanse Dark Green Aventurine Regularly

To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of following methods to cleanse your Dark Green Aventurine necklace. Learn more about these methods.

Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.

Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems.

Water Rinse: Rinse the gems daily for the first two weeks, then 2 – 3 times a week. Alternatively, place Dark Green Aventurine outdoors on the grass in rain for at least 15 minutes.

Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 15 minutes at a time.

Clay Cleanse: For deeper cleansing, occasionally perform a bentonite clay bath or pack.   

When Your Necklace First Arrives  

When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.

Most commonly available Dark Green Aventurine is waxed, thereby clogging its pores and heavily limiting the gems’ therapeutic power. Ours is never waxed and is highly translucent and a naturally vibrant forest-green, with discrete dark-green flecks.

Therapeutic Quality Dark Green Aventurine

To experience its true therapeutic effects, only certain qualities of Aventurine should be used. Again, therapeutic Dark Green Aventurine is composed of dark green flecks in a light green base. Its appearance varies, depending on the character of its light green base, the abundance and distribution of its dark green flecks, and the way these elements interact. The more translucent the Aventurine and the finer its color, the greater are its therapeutic effects. The overall color of the finest Dark Green Aventurine is rich forest-green.

To evaluate Aventurine for therapeutic quality, it must be examined under a microscope. This is required to determine whether the Aventurine has the proper ratio of light and dark green elements. This also ensures that the dark green flecks are not loose clouds or streaks but appear as solid, discrete, fully matured capsules suspended throughout the light green base. Any Aventurine that is muddy-looking or that displays other colors should be avoided.

Evaluating Dark Green Aventurine for therapeutic quality is so complex, that it is necessary to have viewed hundreds of specimens before one can confidently classify a sphere as therapeutic in quality.

Lower-quality Dark Green Aventurine is commonly waxed to fill in minute fractures and make the gemstones appear more translucent and higher in quality than they actually are. Waxed Aventurine cannot spark the healing changes that are initiated by naturally translucent, untreated gems. Gemisphere’s Dark Green Aventurine is completely free of wax and all other artificial treatments.
