Green Aventurine is used to balance the heart chakra and is considered to be a protector of this centre in both dimensions – the etheric and the physical. It is often associated with the zodiac sign Libra – the scales – since it weighs and balances the alignment of the intellectual –logic and reason – and the emotional bodies. It is believed to have the ability to shut down either as appropriate. Aventurine relieves the tension of migraine headaches and soothes the eyes.
