At YURGA Jewelry, we love using aventurine in our handcrafted gold jewelry designs because it adds a touch of natural beauty to each piece.
Aventurine is also known for its healing properties and is said to promote well-being and balance. It is said to be a stone of prosperity and is believed to attract luck and abundance. It is also said to be helpful for decision making and enhances creativity. Many believe that aventurine has the capacity to calm a troubled spirit and bring about inner peace.
Colors of Aventurine
One of the most interesting things about aventurine is its mineral inclusions. These tiny sparkles, often referred to as “aventurescence”, are caused by the presence of mica or other minerals within the quartz crystal. This gives aventurine its unique, sparkling appearance and makes each specimen unique. This mineral can range in color from green, peach, brown, blue and a creamy green, and is often mistaken for amazonite or jade.
Aventurine is found in various locations around the world, including India, Chile, Spain, Russia, Brazil, Austria,and Tanzania. It has a hardness rating of 6.5 on the Mohs scale, making it a durable choice for jewelry.
But Aventurine is not just known for its physical properties, it also has a rich history and cultural significance. It is the Star Sign for Libra and the Planetary stone of Taurus, and has been used as a lucky talisman and is a popular stone for gamblers. Legends say that it is an all-purpose healer, used to reduce stress, develop confidence, imagination and improve prosperity. A legend from ancient Tibet says that aventurine was used to improve nearsightedness and to increase the wearer’s creativity.
The name Aventurine comes from an accident! Sometime during the 18th century, Venetian glass workers were preparing molten glass when copper filings accidentally fell into the batch producing a glass with sparkles. The name aventurine comes from the Italian “a ventura,” which means”by chance”.
