Aventurine is composed of two gem minerals, one is a plagioclase feldspar and the other is quartz . Both have a sparkling reflection from oriented minute inclusions of mica or hematite, which cause a slight metallic iridescence.
Properties
Aventurine is hard and mildly porous. Because of the beautiful color and shine it is often used in jewelry. The toys made of aventurine retain temperature well. Aventurine doesn't contain any artificial chemicals like phthalates or latex. Because Aventurine is only mildly porous lubricants last longer on it.
Hygiene And Maintenance
Because Aventurine is mildly porous we don't recommend sharing toys made of Aventurine, although you can sterilize the toy using a 10% bleach and 90% water solution, then rinse in warm water. After each use, clean your toy, hand-washing it with warm water and an anti-bacterial soap. Promptly dry it off with the satin cloth or a fine cotton cloth. Just like fine jewelry, we DO NOT recommend putting it in the dishwasher. Aventurine often fades in the sun, therefore the aventurine jewelry is better kept in the dark place.
