Aventurine Quartz
Aventurine Quartz
Aventurine Quartz is a captivating and widely used gemstone known for its sparkling shimmer and rich, translucent colour. A variety of quartz, aventurine is characterised by tiny reflective mineral inclusions — most commonly mica or hematite — that create a glittering effect known as aventurescence. This natural sparkle makes aventurine quartz a favourite choice in jewellery and decorative arts.
