Introduction
The chemical composition of blue aventurine is SiO₂, and its characteristic "sunstone effect" in crystal form is caused by the reflection of flaky inclusions within the crystal. It is also known as "Indian jade."

It was valued in early Central American civilizations such as the Olmec culture; in ancient Egypt, China, and Inca civilizations, it was regarded as a jewel with special symbolic meaning, used in religious rituals, as amulets, or in decorative art.
