About the Stone
Green aventurine is quartz carrying thousands of tiny flat plates of mica, and each plate reflects light like a small mirror, which is the whole of its glitter. The green body colour comes from a chromium-bearing mica variety spread through the stone. Mottling and patchiness are the material, so beads on one strand differ in tone.
- Family
Quartz (macrocrystalline) with platy mineral inclusions

- Note
The glitter, called aventurescence, comes from inclusions rather than the quartz itself: thousands of tiny flat plates of mica lie scattered through the stone, and each one reflects light like a small mirror. The green body colour comes from a chromium-bearing mica variety.
