Greenies is a fun 21 1/2 inch long single strand of Green Aventurine and Marble. I used Delica Glass spacer beads and a Silver filled Pewter toggle clasp too. It's look is Spring and Summer but certainly it's wearable year round! The ample length makes is versatile for lots of necklines and outfits.

As per crystalvaults.com, "Green Aventurine is known as the "Stone of Opportunity," thought to be the luckiest of all crystals, especially in manifesting prosperity and wealth, or for increasing favor in competitions or games of chance. Its winning energy makes it a great ally for boosting one’s chances in any situation – a first date, tax audit, even landing a promotion. One needs only to be near it to derive its benefits.

This beautiful stone, however, is not merely an attractor of luck, but one that aligns conditions so "opportunity" is inevitable. Green Aventurine releases old patterns, habits, and disappointments so new growth can take place.

It brings optimism and a zest for life, allowing one to move forward with confidence and to embrace change. It enhances one’s creativity and motivation and encourages perseverance in maneuvering life’s obstacles. It also reinforces one’s decisiveness and amplifies leadership qualities, injecting a sense of humor and openness to the ideas of others.

Aventurine is a variety of Quartz characterized by bright inclusions of Mica or other minerals that give a shimmering or glistening effect to the stone, referred to as aventurescence, especially notable when tumbled or polished. Its name is derived from the Italian a ventura or all’avventura, meaning "by chance," and refers to the Italian glass from the 1700s, produced when a worker accidentally dropped metal filings into a vat of melting glass. Once cooled, the result was pleasing with its randomly spaced iridescent sparkles, and it was used to make jewelry and other items. The name Aventurine was later given to the natural stone which looked like an industrial product.

Green Aventurine carries a strong connection to Earth and the Devic kingdom, providing a better understanding and appreciation of nature and its soothing vibrations upon the mind and body. It is an excellent stone for gridding houses or gardens against geopathic stress.

Wearing Aventurine also absorbs electromagnetic smog and guards against environmental pollution. Taped to a cell phone, it protects against its emanations.

Green Aventurine energetically stimulates the physical growth of premature infants, young children, and teenagers. It increases overall vitality and enhances the intellectual development of children struggling with schoolwork and destructive hyperactivity. It assists adults with written work, typing, and computer skills, and is beneficial to all in overcoming clumsiness.

Aventurine may be made into an elixir to drink or used in ablutions by soaking a stone fragment in demineralized water overnight (we recommend the indirect method). It is highly beneficial for fighting eczema, rosacea, juvenile acne, and other skin problems.

Aventurine is ideal for soothing quick-tempers or brutal temperaments, and can greatly diminish the effects of domestic strife between spouses.

For those looking for love in their mature years, Green Aventurine may be used as a love crystal or added to a Heart Chakra layout as it encourages love later in life."

According to firemountaingems.com, "Marble is viewed as a stone of potential. Like a block of stone awaits a master carver's touch, so practitioners believe a spirit awaits the awakening of powers of marble. It is said to promote peak states of meditation and support the perfect recall of dreams. Marble meaning is also associated with self-control, serenity and the growth of an individual's common sense.

Although it is not an official birthstone, marble meaning is associated with the zodiac sign of Cancer. It has no commonly accepted chakra affiliation."

I like the duality of potential in these 2 stones! I also like that this necklace looks happy, natural and can possibly be very beneficial!
