Aventurine is a crystal more recently discovered, in comparison with how old the stone itself is. Approximately 2 million years old, it had laid dormant and on record it remained untouched by human hands until its discovery in the 18th Century. How on Earth in this relatively short time frame (in comparison to Carnelian or Lapis Lazuli) has Green Aventurine made its name as the stone of luck, prosperity, and good fortune we know it as today? Well it just so happens this green stone is physical evidence of the serendipity and synchronicities of life on Earth! The name Aventurine did not originate from the stone we know and love today, but rather from a happy accident in a glass factory. Before the Aventurine stone was even discovered, a worker accidentally dropped metal fillings into a vat of glass, creating a beautiful mistake of glittering glass. This factory located on the island Murano, near Venice Italy named the stone after the Italian word “a ventura” meaning “by chance”.  Little did they know, this miraculous discovery of gorgeous glass work very closely resembled the Aventurine stone we know today! Upon its discovery, the name Aventurine was relinquished to the Green Aventurine we know and love today. How appropriate that Aventurine, whose whole short history revolves around the concepts of luck, was given the name of a glass made by fate. Even those a little unsure of the metaphysical properties all crystals hold may find Green Aventurine a little lucky after hearing its colorful history! We veterans of the crystal community should also take a moment to appreciate this staple stone, a perfect beginner crystal, that manifested its own discovery so perfectly. This tale, and Green Aventurine as a whole, serves as a perfect reminder of the magic behind crystal healing and all of the synchronicities of life.

Green Aventurine is a member of a very colorful family. The Quartz-based gemstone known as Aventurine is classified as such due to the presence of sparkling fragments of mica or hematite. This common trait of all colors of Aventurine is appropriately named Aventurescence: giving Aventurine the appearance of trapped glitter under the surface of the stone. The most common color of Aventurine is green, caused by high quantities of Fuchsite inside of the stone. Aventurine with Iron or Goethite can cause it to appear red, orange, or yellow. When it comes to the blue variation of Aventurine, its color is caused by inclusions of Iron, Nickel, Copper, or Titanium. The purple variety of Aventurine is harder to pin down, often appearing more red in tone and therefore higher in Iron or Goethite, but there is little information on its exact chemical composition. The entire rainbow of colors is theoretically possible in Aventurine, and each of the colors will add the classic Aventurine ability to manifest prosperity to each Chakra. For example, White Aventurine (with its color caused by inclusions of feldspar) works well with the Crown Chakra, and is an incredible aid in opening opportunities spiritually. Blue Aventurine will help open up your life to great opportunities involving communication and intuition.
