  • Aventurine gets its name from the Italian word "avventura"--by chance, risk or luck.
  • Its name is tied to the creation of goldstone, and the name for the manmade material was transferred to the natural material once the gemstone was identified.
  • We were told that centuries ago, Tibetans decorated their statues with the stone we call aventurine, used most often in the eyes, so each shimmer of light increased the statue's visionary powers.
  • Until the 19th Century, aventurine was called the "stone of the Amazons," as the deposits in Brazil were thought to have supplied the jewels of Amazon warrior queens.
  • Aventurine has a number of bynames and trade names, including adventurine, adventurine quartz and Indian "jade."
  • Besides being used for beads and jewelry-making, aventurine is also carved into ornamental or décor pieces such as bowls, vases and statuettes.
