Geology · Formation
How it forms: Fuchsite inclusions create the green.
Aventurine is a variety of quartz famous for its 'Aventurescence'—a shimmering, sparkling effect. It forms in regional metamorphic environments. Tiny, flat inclusions of green Fuchsite mica are trapped inside the translucent quartz. The Result: A bright green stone that 'sparkles' when moved under the light.
