Elusive White Aventurine

QUESTION: Greetings, I've been searching everywhere for white aventurine. Might you have any? I love your pieces and you are always my first stop for crystals...but I
can't find any...anywhere. Thanks in advance.

ANSWER: Hi, thanks for your email. I have not heard of a white Aventurine before, but that doesn't mean it does not exist! You may be thinking of a Snow White Quartz? Aventurine is a compact Quartz containing glittering inclusions, usually Mica. Perhaps you are looking for a white Mica? Natural Aventurine is most often associated with the color green, but is also popular in red, orange and blue.

Sorry I could not be of help in this particular search. If you do find White Aventurine, I would be curious to see a picture!

Sincerely,

Glass Vial Necklaces

I had fun creating these mini terrarium necklaces filled with natural stones and moss. These are clear glass tubes with natural cork stoppers which can be filled with tiny stone pebbles and fresh green moss. The pendants are strung on sterling silver chains to display proudly throughout the day; carrying with you a world of beauty and art.
