Aventurine
Usually green with a soft shimmer known as aventurescence. Aventurine is associated with India, Brazil, and Russia, and its natural character gives it a hopeful, lucky-feeling, and easygoing presence. Traditionally linked with abundance, confidence, balance, and joy, it feels more like a small object with a story than a simple color stone.
The name aventurine traces to the Italian a ventura, “by chance,” after a sparkling glassmaking accident inspired the term for naturally shimmering stone.
