	Aventurine
		Aventurine is a form of quartzite, characterised by its translucency and the presence of platy mineral occlusions that give a shimmering or glistening effect termed aventurescence.
		Because aventurine is a rock, its physical properties vary: its specific gravity may lie between 2.64-2.69 and its hardness is somewhat lower than single-crystal quartz at around 6.5.
		Aventurine is often banded and an overabundance of fuchsite may render it opaque, in which case it may be mistaken for malachite at first glance.

	The Naming of Quartz Gems
		The naming of quartz gem stones, the varieties of quartz, the correct names (such as aventurine quartz, carnelian, and sard) and misnamed quartz (such as cat's-eye and topaz)
		If it is felt that the name "topaz" must be used, the prefix "quartz" should be used, or perhaps "Spanish topaz" will do, but some effort should be made to distinguish it from the true precious topaz.
		In addition to amethyst and citrine quartz we have the pinkish, milky quartz known as "rose quartz." This is usually correctly named.
