Most aventurine is naturally reddish brown or yellow, though a green variety is also known. In our experience much of the green aventurine you'll find on the market, as well as the red and blue, is almost certainly dyed to achieve its color. http://www.mindat.org/gallery.php?min=436 http://www.rings-things.com/gemstone/a.htm All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
