Aventurine Quartz
Also known asDongling Stone (conditional name) · Green aventurine (conditional name)
Quartzite jade containing reflective mineral inclusions such as mica that give a glittering aventurescence; the green is often caused by chromium mica. In GB/T 34098-2017 "Aventurine Quartz" is a trade name, and the basic name is quartzite jade. This page compares how the major standards and institutions name it, what must be disclosed when selling it, whether it can be worn every day, how it is treated and identified, and which source each conclusion comes from.

Material research: formation, causes and history
What authoritative sources say about how this material forms, what causes its colour and optical effects, where its name comes from and how people have used it. Each statement carries an evidence grade and its sources; it describes the material in general, not any specific piece.
How it forms
Aventurine quartz is a quartz material that carries reflective mineral inclusions, frequently mica or fuchsite, with quartz as its parent and often taking the form of quartzite. In mineralogy the name ‘aventurine’ was first applied to quartzite — a metamorphic rock made up largely of polycrystalline quartz — that carries glimmering mica crystals. Its sparkle results from reflection off isolated, visually discernible flat interfaces (oriented mica flakes) scattered through a transparent-to-translucent medium: aventurescence. In nature, quartz occurs in hydrothermal veins, in granites and pegmatites, and in sandstones and quartzites. Under CIBJO nomenclature, Aventurine Quartz is listed as a variety of macrocrystalline quartz.
Scope: Covers an overview of the formation of aventurine quartz (a quartz/quartzite variety containing reflective mica inclusions); formation content follows that of the parent material quartz/quartzite.
Sources Handbook of Mineralogy · G&G Summer 2025 · CIBJO Gemstone Book 2022
Where it forms
Quartz occurs in hydrothermal veins, granites/pegmatites, sandstones and quartzites; aventurine often occurs as mica-bearing quartzite (a metamorphic rock).
Sources Handbook of Mineralogy
How it forms, step by step
A silica-rich system crystallizes quartz (polycrystalline quartzite or growth in veins).
Sources Handbook of Mineralogy
During crystallization/metamorphism, platy minerals such as mica are trapped as oriented inclusions.
Sources Handbook of Mineralogy
The oriented platy inclusions form visually discernible flat interfaces whose reflection produces aventurescence.
Sources Handbook of Mineralogy
Link to appearance
The glitter comes from reflection off flat interfaces such as oriented mica flakes, an optical mechanism; an appearance name alone cannot prove origin, naturalness, or treatment.
Sources Handbook of Mineralogy · G&G Summer 2025 · CIBJO Gemstone Book 2022
Timescale
The sources in this record give no absolute age or growth duration for aventurine quartz.

Supporting findings
The siliceous host of aventurine quartz is quartz (SiO2), which in nature occurs in hydrothermal veins, granites and granite pegmatites, sandstones and quartzites, and other settings.

These are localities recorded by authoritative sources, not an origin finding for any individual piece. The CIBJO Gemstone Book (2022, §4.2.3) says a place of origin names where a gem was mined or harvested, is a matter of opinion, does not imply a level of quality, and that cutting, processing or exporting centres must not be used to imply origin. See how far testing can go on this page, the origin determination guide and the overview of recorded localities.
Causes of colour and optical effects
The glittering (aventurescence) of aventurine quartz is caused by the reflection from isolated, visually discernible flat interfaces (oriented inclusions such as mica flakes) scattered in a transparent-to-translucent material.
Evidence grade AScope: Describes the aventurescence mechanism; does not claim it is unique to aventurine.
Where the name comes from
The mineral entity of aventurine quartz is quartz; this etymology belongs to the parent mineral quartz — its name is of obscure origin in the Middle Ages, first applied to gangue in Saxony, Germany. It is not the origin of the trade name "aventurine".
Evidence grade BScope: This states only the origin of the name and does not establish the material's composition, locality, natural origin, or whether it was treated. The etymology belongs to the parent mineral name and is not the origin of the trade or variety name itself.
Sources Handbook of Mineralogy
Other research findings
In mineralogy, ‘aventurine’ was first applied to quartzite — a metamorphic rock made up largely of polycrystalline quartz — that carries glimmering mica crystals; aventurine quartz is a quartz variety, not a species of its own.
Evidence grade AScope: Defines the name's origin and its quartzite/quartz variety status; does not authenticate any specimen.

Care and wear
No care facts are recorded for this entry itself. Its parent material has care records: see Quartz.
Durability and wearing
Toughness
Brittle, tough when massive
Daily wear
Aventurine quartz ranks 7 on the Mohs scale and is brittle (tough when massive); it is durable for daily wear, but sand and dust are mostly quartz of similar hardness, so the surface is easily abraded and should be protected from scratching and rubbing.
Care
Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush; ultrasonic and steam cleaning are usually safe for unfractured, untreated material, but as a precaution use only warm soapy water on fractured stones. Avoid chemicals that may attack the material.
General guidance: LumaLark's general guidance inferred from the material's properties (hardness, toughness, cleavage); not text from the cited source, and not a guarantee for any specific piece.
Scope: This field describes the material's general properties and does not constitute a durability or safety guarantee for any specific finished product; the durability of treated (filled, dyed, coated) or composite pieces must be assessed separately.

Whether a treatment has to show in the name differs between the two rule sets (this site’s paraphrase):
- GB/T 16552—2017: a method classed as treatment has to be stated in the name itself — the method put before the name, or added in brackets after it; a method classed as optimization does not need to appear in the name, though one marked “Optimization (annotation required)” still has to be noted in the quality documents. Source: §5.4.2.1 a), b); §5.4.2.2 a)
- CIBJO Gemstone Book 2022: no longer splits treatments into ones that need specific disclosure and ones that need only general disclosure: every treatment is to be disclosed, and the seller tells the buyer which treatment was used and what special care it calls for.

What it is and how it's identified
Aventurine Quartz is composed of quartz (phase), is translucent to opaque, and shows aventurescence as its optical effect; this site notes that the cited source describes aventurescence as common. Structure, Mohs hardness, cleavage, optic character, birefringence and lustre are recorded for quartzite jade (the whole class): a phanerocrystalline aggregate with granular structure; Mohs hardness 6–7; cleavage none; optic character anisotropic aggregate; birefringence not measurable on an aggregate; vitreous to greasy lustre when untreated. Density 2.64–2.71 g/cm³ and refractive index 1.544–1.553 are also taken for quartzite jade (the whole class); this site notes that the clause has finer ranges and the overall value is used.
Registered material facts
Each row carries its own source and check date and can be cited on its own; “—” means the cited source gives no value, not “none”.
Chemical composition, luminescence, UV-visible spectrum, infrared spectrum, magnification: these whole-class features are given in the cited clause for quartzite jade (the whole class), so they are not repeated on the Aventurine Quartz page; see the material facts on the Quartzite Jade entry.
Items below that name the class they cover give the cited clause’s value for that whole class, not a measurement of Aventurine Quartz (how to read class-level values).

Testing and market
The identification finding for Aventurine Quartz is registered under quartzite jade (the whole class), treatment state untreated: viewed through the Chelsea colour filter, quartzite containing chromium mica (fuchsite) appears red, based on GB/T 16553—2017. The CIBJO laboratory protocol places Aventurine Quartz under "Quartz"; identification is on the Quartz entry and the list of required tests is on the laboratory testing page. The CIBJO Blue Book (2022) records that there is no synthetic counterpart of Aventurine Quartz on the market.
The CIBJO laboratory protocol covers Aventurine Quartz under “Quartz” (§6.1.65): see identification on the Quartz entry; the required tests are listed on the CIBJO laboratory protocol table for Quartz.
