History

Green aventurine is a member of the Quartz family that was first discovered around the 1800s. The name “aventurine” is derived from the Italian word “a ventura,” meaning “by chance.” However, not much else has been documented about green aventurine stones, possibly because it is commonly mistaken for jade, due to its color. Green aventurine has been commonly used in jewelry and other ornaments throughout history. It has been described as a charm for gambling, as the stone is said to bring good luck.
