Green Aventurine is a beautiful translucent quartz.
The stone shimmers due to thousands of tiny, reflective, mica inclusions.
Its name comes from the Italian phrase “a ventura” which means “by chance.”
The story goes, that Aventurine was created when copper filings spilled into molten glass.
The gemstone was discovered later, but given the same name due to their similar visual
properties.
Major deposits are found near the cities of Chennai and Mysore in India, as well as Brazil, Tanzania, and Russia.
As you might expect there are many cultural traditions throughout history that include the lovely Aventurine.
Ancient Ethiopians used to make tools out of Aventurine.
Celts connected the stone to spirituality and the pursuit of knowledge.
The Inca people made charms with it to enhance their luck and bring good fortune and wealth.
And in Tibet, Aventurine was used in the eyes of sculptures which was thought to enhance their spiritual presence and power.
The calming hues of this Green Aventurine bracelet would make an amazing addition to your jewelry collection.
Enhance your look with the beauty and deep history of this gem!
