About The Material These Picks Are Made From:

Plectrums made from stone have been used traditionally throughout the world since the dawn of stringed instruments millennia ago. Aventurine is a form of quartz crystal that is semi-translucent, appears in many different colors and patterns, and often features mineral inclusions that give it a subtle shimmering or glittery appearance. Green is the most common color for aventurine, however it also appears in blue, grey, red, brown, orange, yellow, white and other hues. Aventurine has been used by humans since ancient times, and has been valued for its aesthetic qualities as well as its healing and metaphysical properties for thousands of years. Civilizations all around the world prize aventurine for use in jewelry, beads, bowls, vases, rings, and other ornaments.

Aventurine is a name derived from the Italian phrase "a ventura," which means "by chance." The story says that in the 18th century a worker in Murano, Italy accidentally spilled copper filings into a vat of molten glass. When the glass cooled there were flakes of metal throughout the glass giving it a sparkle. This style of glass was named avventurino, and the name then came to be associated with the stone since it can often have a similar appearance. Due to its association with chance it is also sometimes called the "Gambler's Stone" and is thought to bring the owner good luck.

India is the world's top producer of aventurine, and it is sometimes called "Indian Jade" for this reason. This particular Indian Aventurine is a rather consistent semi-transparent pale green color with a somewhat milky appearance. Indian Aventurine is a hard and durable stone, with an approximately 6.5-7 rating on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes it a fantastic and long lasting material for use in guitar picks.
