Material sold under this name is generally quartz or quartzite whose pink coloration and subtle sparkle come from included minerals such as hematite, other iron oxides, or mica. Because the exact inclusions can vary between deposits, pink aventurine may look quite different from one specimen to another. Aventurine itself is a broad commercial term used for several shimmering quartz-rich stones rather than one strictly defined mineral variety.
