Aventurine owes its name to the Italian “ventura” which means chance. In the 17th century, the glassmakers of Venice had to move to the small island of Murano. In fact, they had to protect Venice by avoiding fires during the manufacture of decorative glass. In addition, this allowed them to keep their secrets.

Then one day, a glassmaker accidentally spilled copper shavings into the glass. The effect was immediate and it produced a resplendent glass with glittery reflections. This glass with its copper flakes was made completely by chance, per ventura, hence its name “aventurine”. This name was then given to the natural stone known today.

The Greeks also used it to attract luck. However, in the Middle Ages, this stone was used by gamblers until the 19th century.

Tibetans believed that blue aventurine cured myopia. They also placed blue aventurine stones on the eyes of their statues. They believed that this increased the statues' power of vision.

Among the Chinese, the blue aventurine stone was used to honor Kuan-Yin, the Chinese goddess of mercy, compassion and love. This goddess is the most worshiped of the Chinese goddesses, because she had the power to protect women, children and the unfortunate.

Blue Aventurine is a mixture of quartz, with inclusions of shiny mineral. These inclusions give the stone a metallic color. Aventurine comes in various colors. In fact, these colors are due to the different crystals that have mixed together during the many stages of the stone's formation. In blue aventurine, we find inclusions of dumortierite.

This stone surprises with its glittery effects and shines when exposed to light. Blue aventurine is most often translucent, but it happens that the significant presence of a mineral makes it opaque.

This blue color variation is very rare. Aventurine is formed in igneous rocks (rocks formed when magma cools), in pegmatites (igneous rocks with large crystals) and in hydrothermal veins. It is also found in schists (laminated rocks) or alluviums (deposits of debris such as sand, mud, etc.).

The main deposits are in Brazil, the United States, India and China.
