History of Aventurine

The very name of Aventurine, which derives from the popular Latin "adventura" (what must happen or happen), is said to date back to the 17th century in northern Italy according to commonly accepted history. At the time, in the Venice region, glass masters are said to have intentionally or accidentally invented it, sources disagree on this point. A new technique that consists in randomly or "adventurously" dispersing copper flakes or filings of certain metals such as brass in the glass paste. The term "aventurine" will be generalized to any manufactured or natural object composed of luminous points, and this is how aventurine acquired its name.
