Aventurine: color and transparency
The origin of the name Aventurine from "A ventura", translated from the Italian "by chance" is based on the aventurine glass, whose color is similar to that of the stone and which was obtained by the accidental addition of copper filings by Venetian glassmakers. The aventurine from our range is known to be an attractive green, but it can also have tones such as grey, brown or orange. The mineral fuchsite is responsible for the green color of the opaque to milky gemstone. A slight sparkle can be caused by inclusions such as mica or hematite, the intensity of which is determined by the size, quantity and depth of the embedded particles - this property is known as aventurescence and is named after the gemstone.
