budwas Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 What is the green sparkles in some jabos and a few other I see? Under magnification it is transparent green glass with dark green sparkles. Hope this not a stupid question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Could very well be aventurine if microscopic needle like sparkles. If some of the new Jabos it could also be mica flakes but they are larger and flat, Microscopic fracturing is also common in some glass types and looks like little sparkles(Akro red is one color) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could photograph it but no way with what I have. Thank you very much for all your help Istmmrbls I appreciate it very much and the humor also. Lots of fun here.
