How Clarity Affects the Value of Aventurine
Clarity is a milder point in determining the value of an aventurine. A good aventurine will have imperfect clarity do to attractive green inclusions, but will still retain a kind of “glow” around the edges. An aventurine stone with too poor clarity will look lifeless.
