Aventurine has been discovered as far back as the Omo Valley in Ethiopia about 2.5 million years. This quartz-based gemstone is known for its bright inclusions and glistening or shimmering effect. This effect comes from the presence of chrome-bearing fuchsite, which adds a silvery green or silvery blue sheen to the stone. This bracelet is wrapped in silver coated copper.
Aventurine stone is believed to be a positive stone of prosperity, diffusing negative emotions, reinforcing leadership, promoting compassion and encouraging perseverance. It is a stone used to promote open-mindedness and the ability to see alternatives and possibilities.

Care: Aventurine can fade with prolonged exposure to the sun, so store gems in a dark place. It also reacts to extreme temperatures. Be sure to clean this gemstone in warm soapy water and a soft cloth or brush. This gemstone’s hardness makes it durable, but it can be sheared, so keep it separate from other gemstones. Keep away from household chemicals. Wipe copper with vinegar and a soft cloth!
