Aventurine is a type of quartz. Mica and fuchsite particles in the quartz give the stone its various colours and slight sparkle. Although green is the most common colour, aventurine can also occur in reddish-orange tones (caused by hematite in the stone), blue tones, purples, pinks, and reds (caused by iron). These attractive colours make aventurine one of the more colorful of the semi-precious stones. The stone is found worldwide.

The name aventurine comes from the Italian word a ventura meaning by chance.
