Light Green Aventurine Crystals

Green aventurine also known as aventurine quartz occurs in several colours.  Stones are characterised by distinctive platy inclusions which gives them a shimmering or glistening effect.  Correctly known as aventurescence, this optical phenomenon is caused as light reflects off the inclusions.

Platy is a term used to describe mineral inclusions with a flat plate-like shape.

Although fuchsite (fook~site) tends to be the most common, inclusions in green aventurine can also be lepidolite, hematite, goethite (ger~tite) muscovite or ilmenite.

When present in abundance they can change the colour of the stone.  Green is caused by the mineral fuchsite which is a chromium rich mica.

Green aventurine can be a light or darker shade of green. 

These light green aventurine crystals are a larger sized stone.  Size can vary from piece to piece.  We also have green aventurine tumbled stones in smaller sizes.
