Aventurine is the Star Sign for Libra and the Planetary stone of Taurus. Aventurine is a translucent to opaque variety of microcrystal quartz,containing small inclusions of shiny minerals which give the stone a sparkling effect known as "aventurescence." Inclusions of mica will give a silver sheen, while inclusions of hematite give a reddish or grayish sparkle.

Aventurine is throughout the world. This mineral is similar to amazonite and jade. The name aventurine comes from the Italian "a ventura," which means"by chance". Aventurine has been used as a lucky talisman. Legends say that it is an all-purpose healer, used to reduce stress, develop confidence, imagination and improve prosperity. A legend from ancient Tibet says that aventurine was used to improve nearsightedness and to increase the wearer's creativity.

Many believe that aventurine has the capacity to calm a troubled spirit and bring about inner peace.
