Healing Properties:

Lotus Flower: Great significance in Tibetan Buddhism. Many deities are depicted seated upon lotus flowers, or in some cases such as Padmasambhava (The Lotus Born), having arisen from Lotus Flowers. The lotus has a special quality of being pristine and beautiful, and having prominently arisen from the murkiness of a swamp.This signifies our Buddha Nature: from the darkness of our confusion, the brightness of our awakened heart can be born.

Aventurine: Aids with circulation, blood disorders, and thyroid issues, and can help clear congestion and allergies. Legend says it is an all-purpose healer, used to reduce stress, develop confidence, enhance imagination, and improve prosperity.

Many believe that Aventurine has the capacity to calm a troubled spirit and bring about inner peace.
