Wearing crystals is one of my favorite ways to use their healing properties, and after I learned this easy weave for making necklaces, I’ve been knotting and braiding left and right!

Lately I’ve been drawn to this green aventurine, which had a number of healing properties. It’s a heart chakra opener, and helps attract love later in life. It’s also considered a lucky stone, attracting opportunity and prosperity.

Green aventurine is also deeply connected to earth elementals, and can help us connect more deeply within nature devas and the earth. Other qualities include stress reduction and calming, increasing optimism, and helping us to move through obstacles and blockages to embrace change.
