Green Aventurine aka Aventurine Quartz
Green aventurine crystals also known as aventurine quartz. Green aventurine can look very similar to green quartz but is not the same stone.
Aventurine is a variety of quartz that's characterised by distinctive mineral inclusions. These give it a shimmering or glistening effect. Correctly known as aventurescence, this optical phenomenon is caused as light reflects off 'platy' inclusions.
Platy describes mineral inclusions with a flat plate-like shape.
Although fuchsite (fook~site) tends to be the most common inclusion, inclusions in green aventurine can also be lepidolite, hematite, goethite (ger~tite) muscovite or ilmenite.
When present in abundance they can influence the colour of the quartz. The green in aventurine is caused by fuchsite, a chromium rich mica.
Our green aventurine crystals are a medium sized stone. Size can vary from piece to piece.
We also have a light green coloured aventurine as part of our collection.
