Wire-wrapped peach Aventurine hangs beautifully on a delicate, gold chain with sunstone accents in this piece by J.S. Kelly Designs.  Measures 18" in length. 

Aventurine is a translucent to opaque variety of quartz. It contains small inclusions of shiny minerals which give the stone a sparkling effect known as "aventurescence". Inclusions of mica will give a silverish sheen, while inclusions of hematite give a reddish or grayish sparkle.

Legends say that Aventurine 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.
