Aventurine belongs to the quartz family. It has different colors due to the presence of mineral or metallic inclusions. Green aventurine has this beautiful color due to the presence of fuchsite, a mica rich in chromium. Brown aventurine is colored by pyrite, red aventurine by hematite and blue by dumortierite.
Green aventurine is a stone that has existed for thousands of years. However, its name was given to it in the 17th century by the glassmakers of Murano. The glassmakers made their glass in Venice and were the cause of many fires. So, to protect the city, they decided to move to the island of Murano. One day, a glassmaker accidentally spilled copper flakes into the molten glass. The result was impressive: the glass sparkled due to the presence of copper. It was named aventurine glass, because in Italian, "a ventura" means by chance. The mineral stone aventurine has this shiny and glittery appearance and therefore owes its name to this strange discovery.
In France, we find traces of green aventurine at the end of the 17th century in the writings of Madame de Maintenon, first governess of the children of Louis XIV and then his secret wife. She describes a rosary that is made of this beautiful green stone.
For thousands of years, aventurine has been used and found across different civilizations. Thus, its presence has been confirmed in ancient Egypt.
In ancient China, about 4,000 years ago, the Chinese recognized green aventurine as the imperial stone Yu, associated with the goddess of mercy, compassion and love. It also protected mothers and children.
Then, 2,000 years ago, within the Inca tribe, green aventurine was used to attract luck and abundance. The Tibetans decorated the eyes of their statues with this stone and used it to correct certain defects of sight. As for the Celts, green aventurine is a stone of spiritual elevation and knowledge.
More recently, the British Museum in London exhibits a statuette dating back to at least 400 years BC. It evokes a typical person of the Olmec civilization. This work measures about 30 cm and is carved in green aventurine.
In the 17th century, stones with brilliant reflections were called aventurine. But the distinction between natural aventurine and that produced by glassmakers is still difficult to establish with certainty.
At that time, a third aventurine became famous, that of Chinese or Japanese aventurine lacquers. In trying to reproduce it in France, magnificent varnishes were created with different varieties of aventurines. These are the famous Martin varnishes dating from 1728.
Aventurine deposits are found in Brazil, China, Germany, etc.
