The brilliant reflections of this stone are enough to attract the attention of jewelers and consumers alike, convincing them that they have something special to offer. Even in the form of tiny dots, their intensity is comparable to the sparkle of a sunbeam, from which comes one of its many names. Although classified as a stone, it does not exist in nature in this form, but is made from melted quartz and other chemical components depending on the color. For the creation of the golden variation, copper salts are added. As the mixture cools, the copper produces sparkling particles, each of which is a microscopic copper crystal. For other types, different coloring agents are used, such as chromium oxide for green, cobalt compounds for blue, and manganese for purple. Folklore has it that the recipe for the stone was created accidentally by alchemists, while trying to produce gold, or by monks practicing alchemy. This explains some of its trade names: monk’s stone, monk’s gold, or goldstone, as well as its Italian name "aventurine" from the root avventura, meaning luck or chance. The term "aventurine" was later applied in geology to minerals that resemble this stone.
