Green Aventurine Follow-Up Stones
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).

Imposing bricks
Lay-on stones are flat, tumbled and smoothly polished (precious) stones that, due to their oval to round shape and flat sides, are suitable for laying on the body, for instance during a relaxation moment. Compared to regular tumble stones and pocket stones, overlay stones have a more flattened shape, which makes them stay well in place. 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, overlays have a size between 3 and 4 cm with a thickness of about 1 cm. Almost all our overlays are cut in China, where they are carefully selected and processed. The product photos give a good impression of what to expect. Lay-on stones are sold per 100 gr (1x), with a minimum order of 200 gr (2x).
