Here is a question from one of our customers:
Q: For stones with different colors, I know the properties vary by color. What I'm trying to figure out is how to deal with this. For example, I have a bead that I bought as "red aventurine" but the actual color is more orange. Would I be better off looking for properties of red or orange aventurine? Or maybe it would be better to just list properties of generic aventurine? I also have purple aventurine that I haven't been able to find properties for yet, but haven't delved into it too far yet.
Answer:
Dear J,
Crystal said you were looking for info on Red and Orange Aventurine. Aventurine is part of the Quartz family. The red color is caused by the inclusion of hemitite into the quartz. As the crystal is formed it is exposed to varing degrees if natual radiation or heat. its color intensity is determined by the level of heat. All Aventurines have the main properties of its class but also of its color. Here is the color properties list.

This is as important as the crystal itself.I use it to help chose candles to go with crystal work. Have fun with it as it can be used for just about every area of your life from clothes to painting your rooms.
