Chakrubs Indian Jade Aventurine Slim Crystal Wand

The Chakrubs Indian Jade Slim is a crystal dildo carved from green aventurine, a mint-green stone with a faint speckled shimmer. It's the slender shape in the Indian Jade line, tapering from a narrow end to a fuller one, so it suits people who want the weight and smoothness of stone without a lot of girth. Chakrubs pairs each stone with a meaning; for green aventurine, it's luck and optimism.

What a crystal dildo feels like

Crystal is nothing like silicone. It's completely firm, with no give at all, and it has a satisfying weight in the hand; this one is about half a pound. The polished surface is very smooth, and Chakrubs checks each piece by hand for smoothness. When you first pick it up, the stone feels cool. It warms to body temperature quickly once you hold it, and Chakrubs suggests running it under warm tap water beforehand if you'd like it warm from the start.

Using the tapered shape

The Slim measures about 2.5 in around at its narrow end and 3.5 in around at the wider end, so each end gives a different feel. Start with the narrower end for slow, gentle insertion, then turn it around when you want more fullness. The firm, smooth body is well suited to steady pressure along the front wall of the vagina, and the weight means small, slow movements are often enough. Use plenty of lubricant and go gently, as stone has no flexibility to adjust to your body. Using it with a partner works well too: the weight makes slow, controlled strokes easy, and there are no buttons or settings to think about.

The wand has no flared base, so it isn't meant for anal use. For that, a toy with a wide stopper is the safe choice.

Choosing between the Slim and the Original

The Indian Jade Original is made from the same stone, about 6.75 in long with an even 3.5 in circumference. The Slim is a touch longer at about 7 in and much narrower at one end, which makes it the gentler option for beginners or anyone who prefers a slimmer feel. Chakrubs also makes the Slim shape in rose quartz, as the Heart Slim, and in black obsidian, as the Xaga Slim.

Caring for a crystal wand

Wash it before and after every use with mild soap and warm water. Never use boiling water; sudden heat can stress natural stone. Chakrubs describes its pieces as delicate, so handle it with care: a drop onto tile can chip or crack it. Before each use, run your fingers over the surface and stop using it if you feel a chip or rough spot. Store it in a cool, dry place, wrapped in a soft pouch so it can't knock against other toys. Each stone is natural, so colour and markings vary slightly from piece to piece.
