is a translucent to opaque variety of Quartz that measures a hardness
of 6.5 on the Moh's scale. It is best recognizable by its inclusions of shiny minerals,
usually mica or hematite, that give the stone a sparkling effect known as
'aventurescence'. It derives its name from the Italian term "a ventura," which means "by
chance". Aventurine ranges in color from green, peach, brown, blue and a creamy
green. Deposits are found in Chile, Spain, Russia, Brazil, Austria, and Tanzania.
Green Aventurine: is the star sign for Libra and the planetary stone of
Taurus. Legends say that it is an all-purpose healer, used to reduce stress,
develop confidence, imagination and improve prosperity. A story from ancient
Tibet says that Aventurine was used to improve near-sightedness and to
increase the wearer's creativity. Many believe that Aventurine has the
capacity to calm a troubled spirit and bring about inner peace.
