Meaning
What aventurine is said to do
Where the name comes from
From the Italian a ventura, “by chance”. The name first belonged to a glittering glass that, so the story goes, Venetian glassmakers made by accident; the natural stone was named after it.
Luck has stayed in its name ever since, and it is still the classic pocket stone for a lucky day.
