History and folklore
Aventurine takes its name from the Italian a ventura, meaning by chance. The story goes that Venetian glassmakers accidentally spilled copper filings into molten glass and created a sparkling glass they called aventurine. The natural stone with a similar shimmer later took the name. Its link to chance made it a natural luck charm, and in folk magick it is often called the gambler's stone. Modern witches carry it for luck, opportunity, and gentle growth.
