Aventurine is a variety of Quartz that exhibits bright inclusions of Mica or other minerals that give the stone its shimmer, especially when polished. Aventurine is most commonly green, though it also forms in blue, red to reddish-brown, dusty purple, orange or peach, yellow, and silver gray. Yellow Aventurine gets its color from tiny inclusions of Muscovite.
