Origin & History

Where Blue Aventurine comes from and how people have worked with it over time.

Aventurine is a variety of quartz characterised by tiny inclusions that give it a soft, shimmering effect. While green aventurine is the best known, blue aventurine appears when different mineral inclusions tint the quartz in cool blue tones. Deposits of blue aventurine are typically found in quartz-bearing regions such as India, Brazil and parts of Russia, where large masses are cut into tumbled stones, beads and cabochons. As a modern crystal, it has become popular for jewellery and pocket pieces linked with focus, clear thinking and calm communication. In contemporary practice, many people work with blue aventurine as a steady companion for study, planning and gentle self-improvement, rather than as a dramatic or intense stone.
