Aventurine history and lore

Aventurine is a shining example of the wonders that can be created by chance. Discovered accidently in Venetian glass works of the 18th century, the breathtaking formation captivated all who witnessed it so much so that it was aptly named 'goldstone' by the Miotti family from Italy. The name Aventurine itself is derived from two Italian words, 'a' meaning 'by', with 'ventura' denoting 'chance'; how fitting for such an enthralling gem. Still to this day, Muscovite mica is often mistaken for a type of glass known as Musovcy glass – interestingly first used in Venice during the 1500s! One chance discovery has brought us centuries of beauty, and continues to be admired even today.
