The Shimmer of Aventurescence
Aventurine is a unique form of Quartz containing tiny plate-like inclusions—usually fuchsite mica—that reflect light to create a subtle metallic shimmer. We select our strands for their consistent saturation and the quality of this natural “glitter.” This ensures your designs have an internal life that sets them apart from the flat, uniform colour of synthetic or dyed alternatives.
The MGB Individual Photo Guarantee
Because Aventurine ranges from a translucent, pale mint to a deep, opaque forest green, we photograph every strand individually. This transparency allows you to judge the specific distribution of mica and the tonal balance of the beads before they arrive at your studio. The strand you see on your screen is the exact one we ship from our Melbourne shop.
Design & Pairings
Aventurine’s cool, earthy green behaves like a design neutral, making it one of the most adaptable stones in a maker’s palette. Its semi‑opaque body pairs best with materials that create a deliberate contrast in texture or temperature:
Soft Pinks (e.g., Rose Quartz): A classic botanical pairing that creates a gentle, balanced aesthetic.
Deep Blues (e.g., Lapis Lazuli): A sophisticated value contrast that adds structural depth to contemporary layouts.
Metallic Accents (e.g., Pyrite): A textural contrast that highlights Aventurine’s internal sparkle by placing it next to a harder, reflective surface.
