History of Aventurine

Aventurine gets its name from the Italian word "avventura"--by chance, risk or luck.

We were told that centuries ago, Tibetans decorated their statues with the stone we call aventurine, used most often in the eyes, so each shimmer of light increased the statues visionary powers. Until the 19th Century, aventurine was called the "stone of the Amazons," as the deposits in Brazil were thought to have supplied the jewels of Amazon warrior queens.

Aventurine has a number of by-names and trade names, including adventurine, adventurine quartz and Indian "jade." It has occasionally appeared in landscaping and as building material for monuments.

Geological Properties

This quartz-based gemstone is known for its bright inclusions and glistening or shimmering effect (aventurescence). This effect comes from the presence of chrome-bearing fuchsite, which adds a silvery green or silvery blue sheen to the stone. Red, orange and brown types of aventurine are created when hematite or goethite is present instead of fuchsite.

Aventurine has been discovered as beads, talismans and tools in archaeological digs as far back as the Omo Valley in Ethiopia (2.5 million years). Weve been using aventurine (no matter what we called it) for a very, very long time! Aventurines superiority for tool-making is due to its hardness and the inherent isotropic brittleness which makes it easy to shape.

Aventurine is found in Europe, India, Chile, Tanzania, Brazil and across northern Asia (including China, Nepal, Tibet and Russia).
