Each of these stunning rings is carved from a solid piece of sparkly Green Aventurine!
Green Aventurine is a naturally occurring form of quartz that was historically used in Tibet to increase perception and improve eyesight. It can be distinguished from other types of quartz by the tiny sparkling flecks contained within the stone. It is this quality that gives the stone its name - it was considered to resemble a sparkly green ornamental glass of the same name which was invented in Italy during the 18th century, and contained shimmering metallic flakes which were added to the glass while it was still molten hot.
Aventurine has been used as a lucky talisman and is a popular stone for gamblers. Legends say that it is an all-purpose healer, used to reduce stress, develop confidence, imagination and improve prosperity. A legend from ancient Tibet says that Aventurine was used to improve nearsightedness and to increase the wearer's creativity. Many believe that Aventurine has the capacity to calm a troubled spirit and bring about inner peace.
The width of the band is 6mm.
