Opalite is a man-made stone. This is a subtle and soft yet dynamic shimmery glass-resin, which is mainly composed of mineral dolomite attached with metal, in order to produce an opalescent presence.
The pink colour of rose quartz is caused by inclusions of a pink variety of the mineral dumortierite. These inclusions are usually abundant enough to make the rose quartz translucent instead of transparent.
Aventurine is a variety of translucent quartz or quartzite with abundant small plate- or flake-shaped inclusions. Light entering the quartz strikes these inclusions and reflects from them. This produces a sparkly appearance known as "aventurescence."
