The basics
Aventurine is quartz packed with tiny flat flakes of other minerals. In green aventurine, those flakes are fuchsite, a green mica.
The flakes catch the light and give it a soft glitter called aventurescence. Red and orange pieces get their colour from iron minerals like hematite instead.
