The Science of Purple Aventurine
Aventurine is a quartz with mica inclusions that provide the color and some sparkle. Depending on the type of inclusion, this stone can come in many different colors: blue, peach, yellow and more. The inclusions that give this Aventurine its purple color is Lepidolite, so it may look like a shinier, lighter version of Lepidolite. Strawberry Quartz and Purple Aventurine also look very similar so it can be difficult to tell them apart, but Aventurine should have either some sparkle, or streaks of white mica visible to the eye.

In Ancient Greece, the stone was sewn into the clothes of warriors to inspire courage. In shamanic cultures, this stone was used in medicine wheel rituals to connect with the loving energy of the spirit guides and gods.
