Its name comes from the Italian ‘a ventura’, which means ‘by chance’ or ‘by accident’, as it resembles aventurine glass. It is said to have been discovered by accident when copper filings fell into molten glass, creating glass with a glittering effect. This discovery is said to have taken place in Murano, where the Miotti family of glassmakers kept the manufacturing secret for a long time.
Green aventurine is a variety of microcrystalline quartz; it often contains inclusions of fuchsite, haematite or mica, which give it a slightly shimmering appearance, similar to that of aventurine glass. This shimmering effect is known as aventurescence. The main deposits of aventurine are found in Brazil, China, India and France.
In crystal healing, aventurine is regarded as a stone of harmony and balance, bringing calm to those who are nervous or restless. It is said to help regulate and heal one’s emotions by fostering self-compassion, enabling a better understanding of the root causes of one’s emotional wounds. It is also said to encourage acceptance of the present situation and letting go, helping one to achieve a state of inner calm conducive to decision-making. It is a stone of love for oneself and for others.

Pi Donut Pendant in Aventurine
Description:
Aventurine pendant with a black or brown nylon cord included.
Green aventurine is a variety of microcrystalline quartz characterised by its green colour. Its name comes from the Italian ‘a ventura’, meaning ‘by chance’ or ‘by accident’. Indeed, it resembles aventurine glass, which was discovered following a mishap in which copper filings accidentally fell into molten glass. It is believed that this discovery took place in Murano, as the Miotti family of glassmakers kept the manufacturing secret for a long time. Aventurine often contains inclusions of fuchsite, haematite or mica, which give it a slight shimmer, making it look similar to aventurine glass. It is this shimmering effect that is known as aventurescence. This stone is found mainly in Brazil, China, India and France.
Aquamarine pendant with a black or brown nylon cord included.
The Pi or Bi disc (in Chinese 璧) originates from Chinese culture. It is a disc whose origins date back to the Neolithic period and which was mainly carved from jade. This disc symbolises the perfection of Heaven, in contrast to the square representing the Earth. A sign of high social status and a protective amulet, it embodies nobility and harmony. It was also used as a ritual and funerary object. Even today, the Pi disc is believed to have the power to harmonise energies and bring serenity. Each stone is unique, which is why the stone you receive may differ from those shown in the photograph.
