Green Aventurine Handstones from Madagascar
Aventurine
Aventurine is a variety of quartz that contains tiny inclusions of shimmering minerals such as mica or haematite, creating a sparkling effect called aventurescence. The most common colour is green, but specimens also exist in blue, orange, brown and grey.
Major deposits include India, Brazil, Russia and Tanzania. Aventurine belongs to the quartz family with the chemical formula SiOâ‚‚. Its hardness is between 6.5 and 7 on the Mohs scale.
Well-known varieties are green aventurine (usually with fuchsite), blue aventurine (with dumortierite) and orange to red-brown varieties (with haematite or goethite).

Hand stones
Hand stones are our largest, tumbled and smoothly polished (precious) stones that often sit very well in the hand, which immediately explains the name. Drummed, this size is also called a palm stone or jumbo stone. Often these stones are extra polished or ground after tumbling for a beautiful end result. Despite this consistency, it remains a natural product, so variations in shape, colour and pattern can always occur. This can vary from one type of stone to another.
Generally, handstones have a size between 4 × 3 × 2 cm and 6 × 5 × 3 cm. Almost all our handstones come from Madagascar, where they are carefully selected and processed. The product photos give a good impression of what to expect. Hand stones are sold per 100 gr (1x), with a minimum order of 500 gr (5x).
