BLUE AVENTURINE

(Alternate Names: Scholar’s Stone, Calm Mind Quartz)

Appearance

A muted blue to blue-gray quartz with subtle sparkling inclusions that create a soft, internal shimmer known as aventurescence. Typically opaque to slightly translucent, with a smooth polish that feels grounding rather than flashy. Its color is cool and subdued—more storm-cloud than sky—often flecked with silvery or darker mineral specks.
