Notes: Aventurine may sometimes contain small bits of Pyrite or Hematite (and may also contain Lepidolite). Also misspelled as Red Avanturine or Red Adventurine. This stone is often mistaken for Strawberry Quartz, but true Strawberry Quartz is Quartz with inclusions of Pink Rutile rather than the sparkling Mica inclusions of Aventurine. So, although this stone is now commonly sold as Strawberry Quartz (which has become a secondary name for this stone), it is not to be confused with the original, authentic Strawberry Quartz.
