Origins and symbols
Red Aventurine was used in ancient China and India as a talisman, jewelry or ritual object to attract good luck, health and wealth.
In the West, the nobility valued it in the Middle Ages for its beautiful radiance.
But everywhere in antiquity, it was confused with other stones, such as garnet and jasper. It wasn't until the 19th and 20th centuries that mineralogists distinguished it as a variety of Aventurine.
The properties attributed to Aventurine - generally the green variety is the best known - i.e. its action on luck, vitality and prosperity, apply to its red variant, with the particularity that the latter is associated with physical energy due to its Hematite inclusions.
