1. ORIGIN
------------------------------------------------------------
Green aventurine is a form of quartzite containing inclusions of mica and hematite that produce a distinctive shimmer (aventurescence) sparkling in the light.
Main deposits: India (the largest source), Brazil, China, Russia and Tanzania.
Its name comes from the Italian 'a ventura' ('by chance / by luck'), coined in the 18th century when Venetian glassmakers accidentally produced a sparkling glass.
With a Mohs hardness of about 7, it is dense and suited to polishing into pyramids, carvings and beads.
2. HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
The name aventurine originated in 18th-century Venice, where craftsmen accidentally produced a sparkling effect in glass; this 'goldstone glass' closely resembled natural aventurine, which took the name.
In the West, green aventurine is called the 'Stone of Opportunity' and is regarded as one of the luckiest crystals.
In the East, its gentle green is given the meaning of vitality and hope.
