Aventurine Bracelets
Aventurine is a variety of translucent quartz with abundant small plate- or flake-shaped inclusions of mica,
ilmenite or hematite. These inclusions reflect light that enters the quartz and produce a sparkly appearance known as “aventurescence”.
Aventurine is known to occur in range of greens, orange, brown and blue. Bright reflections blended with interesting color
make aventurine a popular semiprecious gemstone. Aventurine is most often cut en cabochon or used to make tumbled stones.
It is popular in earrings, pendants, rings, beads, bracelets and pins. It has also been used to make carvings and beautiful
vases and bowls. Green aventurine is sometimes confused with amazonite or jade. It is a popular stone because of its beauty
and also because it is not highly priced.
