- Garnet - A garnet is a mineral that is commonly used as a gemstone. It occurs in a wide range of colours, including red, pink, orange, green, yellow, and black. The most common and best known type of garnet is the red variety, which has a deep, rich colour and is often referred to as a "garnet red."
Garnets have a long history of use as gemstones, and they have been prized for their beauty and durability for thousands of years. They are often used in jewellery, such as rings, necklaces, and earrings, and they are also sometimes used as a decorative element in other items, such as vases and goblets.
Garnets are prized for their brilliance, durability, and resistance to scratching, making them a popular choice for use in jewellery. They are also valued for their hardness, which makes them well suited for use in abrasive applications, such as sandpaper and grinding wheels. - Aventurine Quartz - Aventurine quartz is a variety of quartz that contains small sparkling mineral inclusions, typically of mica or hematite. The inclusions give the stone a shimmering or glittering effect, making it a popular choice for jewellery. It is found in various colours, including green, blue, brown, and red, with green being the most common. The green colour is due to the presence of fuchsite, a type of mica.
In jewellery making, aventurine quartz is often used for beads, pendants, and cabochons. It can be cut into various shapes and sizes and can be polished to a high shine. Aventurine quartz is also popular in tumbled stone form for use in necklaces, bracelets, and other jewellery.
