F77 STAINLESS STEEL DARK BLUE AVENTURINE

Where the meteorite dial beckons to wonder about the picture beyond our planet, the aventurine and lapis lazuli versions remind us of the treasures right under our feet – while hinting at the heavens above. The former, of the deepest green, created in a process of crystallization over eons and eons, gives us a distinctive, shimmering effect – its name comes from the Italian ‘a ventura,’ which means ‘by chance, but that’s a whole other story. The latter, lapis lazuli, is an intensely blue ornamental stone composed of several minerals, a testament to the complex and
dynamic processes that occur across the ages within Earth’s crust. It, too, has spanned epochs without losing its splendor, from mosaics to decorative arts.
