Lutz or aventurine, good read

I ran across this post trying to educate myself after observing two distinctly different aventurescience inclusions in a marble. The link is a good read so I thought I would Share. Especially section D.

 

Chrome-bearing fuchsite (a variety of muscovitemica) is the classic inclusion

:thup: Rich will be glad to see people are finding and using his work.  I check his site often for reminders about Jabo and related information. 

 

We sometimes use the word "aventurine" as a catch-all for almost anything that's sparkly and that we don't have another name for.

What would we call sparkly white vanes?  I didn't know a word, so I just called 'em aventurine.

 

Wish I could show you.  Really really wish I could show you.  But I sold the cat's eyes with the sparkly white vanes before I realized that I'd never find more like them.
