AVENTURINE HISTORY
The majority of green and blue-green aventurine originates in India where it is employed by prolific artisans.
Creamy white, gray and orange material is found in Chile, Spain and Russia.The most common colour of aventurine is green, but it may also be orange, brown, yellow, blue, or grey.
LEGEND
The name aventurine derives from the Italian "a ventura" meaning "by chance". This is an allusion to the lucky discovery of aventurine glass or goldstone at some point in the 18th century.
One story runs that this kind of glass was originally made accidentally at Murano by a workman, who let some copper filings fall into the molten “metal,” whence the product was called avventurino. From the Murano glass the name passed to the mineral, which displayed a rather similar appearance.
