I was inspired by a game post that @Limeberry posted to write about blue aventurine. This is a crystal that I knew nothing about until researching it for you all! So, here goes!
What is blue aventurine?
Blue Aventurine is a member of the quartz family that is characterized by its mica and other mineral inclusions that give it its shimmering effect. Its name comes from the Italian word a ventura or avventura which means “by chance” and perhaps alludes to the way the stone is formed.

Blue Aventurine is not the only form of Aventurine. It comes in many different colors, and each stone has its own correspondences and energy. For example, Green Aventurine is wonderful for protection while pink aventurine works wonders for creativity and wisdom.
In the 1700s, a worker accidentally dropped some metal filings in a vat of melting glass. When it cooled, it resulted in something with beautiful and iridescent sparkles. (Source)
