The listing, Semi-Precious Adventurine Gemstone Points (Earrings) has ended.
Adventurine is a delightful form of quartz that comes in many colors, including greens. But these light-green earrings must hold more quartz than adventurine, because... look at them! They are translucent, almost transparent! (If you win them... be sure to hold them up to the light.) And their translucence allows us to see the individual ways these crystals long-ago grew, by peering within.
OK. Amazingly translucent or not... back to business. Green Adventurine, in many in parts of Asia, has forever been called "the "opportunity stone," and even the "good luck" or "prosperity" stone. (FYI: I myself wear it often, but maybe I'm in the wrong hemisphere; no mongo-million lottery tickets, yet.)
For my part, I slip on some Adventurine when my spirits, or hope, or creativity, need a light lift, and when I crave its gentle gifts of calm and balance.
(FYI: I REALLY can't speak for this next part, but I've also read in more than one place that Adventurine is one of the crystalline structures that naturally neutralize the effects on us of living in constant electromagnetic bombardment from computers, cell phones, televisions, etc.
WHAT'S A "POINT?" Healers who use different shapes of crystals in their work say that variously shaped crystals gather and direct subtle energies in different ways. "Points" are said to send energy out through the points. (Which, for these earrings, is rather cool, since that's directly down into the shoulders of the person wearing them!
THOSE "GOLD" STUDS: Sorry, friends. These earrings are well-made, look more expensive than they were, and are almost-new. But I doubt they are more than gold-plated, if that.
ONE OBVIOUS QUESTION: So, why do I sell earrings that I obviously love? (Men, you can stop reading, now.) Sister Listians, it's like this: Mint greens are usually great on me, but this one isn't. I don't get it. I put on the earrings, and my skin turns sickly yellow. Makeup creativity doesn't help.
