Mineral Information:

The unusual name Aventurine comes from the word avventura, which means 'by chance', in reference to an earlier discovery by Italian glassmakers accidentally creating this visual work in glass - aventurine the stone would then later inherit that name, as the glassy visual effect produced was deemed similar. The most common inclusion is chrome-bearing fuchsite, which creates green aventurine, but red, orange, brown, yellow, blue and grey also exist. As quartzite material is quite durable, it is well-suited for some industrial and ornamental use, ranging from countertops to jewelry.
