Jade. Nephrite jade is a tough, waxy green stone with no sparkle, a good-fortune stone in Chinese tradition. Tumbled stones by the pound, a two-inch point, and a nugget bracelet.

Malachite. A banded green copper mineral. Natural malachite comes as tumbled stones, pebbles from South Africa, chips by the pound, a five-pound free shape, and a bracelet, plus azurite malachite and chrysocolla malachite. The wire-wrapped malachite points and both malachite pendulums are synthetic or reconstituted malachite.

Peridot and Emerald. Peridot is the olive-green August birthstone, here as untumbled stones, a chip necklace, and bracelets, and set in resin in two orgone pendulums. Emerald is the deep-green May birthstone, here as untumbled stones and chips by the pound, a pendant, and a palm stone in its rock matrix.

More Green Stones. Grossular green garnet as tumbled stones, a polished point from Pakistan, and a bracelet. Chrysoprase, the apple-green chalcedony, as tumbled stones and a sterling silver pendant. Serpentine as a pyramid, a palm stone, and a free shape. Green onyx as tumbled stones, a polished point, a bowl, and a lamp. Green calcite as a top-polished point.

Sets and Mixed Pieces. Green stones are in the Success, Good Luck, and Prosperity gemstone sets, the Abundance Travel Altar Kit, and the seven chakra bracelets, sets, and wall hanging, where green aventurine stands for the heart.

How to Choose a Green Crystal

Start with what you want it for. For money and luck, carry green aventurine or keep a bowl of it by the register or in a cash drawer. For a home or a garden, set out moss agate or serpentine. For the heart chakra, wear a green aventurine or jade bracelet, or lay a green stone on the chest in meditation. For a birthday, choose emerald for May or peridot for August.

Green aventurine, jade, emerald, peridot, and green garnet are hard enough for daily wear and a rinse in water. Malachite, serpentine, and green calcite are softer, so keep them dry and wipe them with a soft cloth. Never sand, cut, or soak malachite, because its dust contains copper.

Green aventurine and malachite also belong to the protection and travel stones in our guide, Crystals for Protection: 24 Protection Stones and How to Use Each One.
