Before I poke fun at anyone else, I must admit that I’ve fallen into fits of hyperbole myownself , , , , upon rare occasion. However, I must bow to an Internet seller of Aventurine when it comes to hype.
To me, this sounds like someone who’s gotten stuck with a truckload of Aventurine and desperately needs to recoup. (Been there, done that.) He says:
“Aventurine: stone of prosperity - reinforces leadership qualities and decisiveness - Promotes compassion and empathy - Encourages perseverance - Relieves stammers and severe neuroses. It stabilizes one’s state of mind, stimulates perception and enhances creativity - aids in seeing alternatives and possibilities - calms anger and irritation. It promotes feelings of well-being. and balances male-female energy - encourages regeneration of the heart - protects against environmental pollution.” DOES WHAT !? “. . benefits the thymus gland and nervous system - balances blood pressure and stimulates the metabolism, lowering cholesterol. Aventurine has an anti-inflammatory effect and eases skin eruptions, allergies, migraines, and soothes the eyes. It heals lungs, sinuses, heart, muscular and urogenital systems.” (I’ve never heard of a “urogenital system, but I’m sure mine could use a little healing.)
