Green Aventurine is a translucent to opaque variety of quartz characterized by its shimmering, slightly metallic luster caused by inclusions of fuchsite mica. This stone is valued for its consistent green color, which ranges from pale to deep forest hues. Green Aventurine is durable enough for most jewelry applications and is often chosen for its affordability and availability in a wide range of bead shapes and sizes. Dakota Stones offers Green Aventurine beads that are natural and suitable for both casual and upscale designs.
