Pink Aventurine Round 8mm Gemstone Beads ~38cm/15" Strand.
These Pink Aventurine beads are a mixture of mostly light pink shades. From very light, almost white to soft peachy pinks.
Aventurine is named for its resemblance to the well-known aventurine glass of Venice, Italy. Tradition has it that a Murano workman accidentally dropped some copper filings in molten glass, creating an attractive new material. And so the glass was named avventurino for the Italian word avventura, or "by chance." Aventurine is a form of chalcedony (quartz).
