Meaning & Energy

Red Aventurine grounds our physical body to the earthly plane. At the same time opens up a channel that assists in releasing heavy emotions. Oftentimes you may find yourself feeling extreme emotions but are unable to process them properly. When you are grounded and centered within your own body, you are capable of better understanding your true self.

This makes it easy to identify your problem and focus your intuition towards achieving a solution.

Red Aventurine is a great stone to carry with high vibrational stones. It helps bridge the gap between the spiritual and physical worlds. Anyone feeling fatigued or too strong of energy towards crystals like Moldavite or Libyan Desert Glass should use Red Aventurine in their spiritual work.
