Colorful inclusions
Aventurine is a quartz variety known for its clear inclusions that give the stone a shiny appearance. This phenomenon is called 'aventurescence'. Fuchsite inclusions create a silver-green or blue sheen, and hematite or goethite inclusions create orange, brown, and yellow aventurine.
By chance
Aventurine was first discovered in the 18th century. The name comes from the Italian, "a ventura" which means "by chance". One day around the year 1700, a worker accidentally dropped metal filings into a vat of melting glass. When the glass cooled, beautiful and random iridescent sparkles were visible. The name "aventurine" was later given to the natural stone because of its resemblance to this glass.
