- 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.
- Cabochon Cut in Jewellery - A cabochon cut is a type of gemstone cutting where the stone is cut and polished in a convex shape with a flat bottom and a domed top, with no facets. This type of cut is typically used for opaque or translucent stones that have natural patterns or inclusions that are best displayed in this type of cut. Examples of stones that are often cut as cabochons include turquoise, opal, and moonstone.
