Aventurine glass seems to sparkle in magical fashion as you gaze at it.
Essentially, the glass was combined with copper or copper salts. When the glass
melted and cooled, these mineral deposits would clump together to created a
gold-flecked and shiny appearance on the glass.
The Montjoye / Legras company, situated in St. Denis, near Paris, France started
in 1866.
