Aventurine - pics please

I've never paid much attention to this lovely stone - till now that it is retired.
Could you please post pics of your Aventurines to show the variety  
Can it still easily be found in shops?

Here are mine, 2° and 3° stone!! 1° ammozonite!

My daughter & I both bought ours after it had been retired. You can see my Aventurine in my TB Day bead pic:

Here is mine:

I just have one, but would love to find a darker one. Haven't seen any in shops near me lately.

Here's mine. It's lovely seeing all the variations, we should do this with more stones

Mine is pale but a friend has some darker ones - they look fantastic.

WOW, gorgeous stones and great pics! TFS
So it's a basically more opaque stone with lots of color variety.

I've finally spotted one in a small shop, that is downsizing (what else?) their store stock. Hopefully I am not too late to the party

I have 6 green aventurine Trollbeads.  I started collecting them when I learned their meaning, healing energy, legendary uses, and metaphysical properties.  Here is one way I have used two of them.  More pictures will follow when I find the photos.  For now, I have found these photos.  Enjoy.  And I adore this post.  The green trollbeads aventurine is one of my favorite gemstones that they ever made.
 

I found a few more pictures, showing all 6 of my aventurine beads mixed with my Pink Russian Ambers and both medium and light golden quartz beads.  This is a bracelet that I rarely take apart.  I might "borrow" a bead or two from this bracelet once in a while to wear on another combination, but they always end up back on this bracelet in their designated spots!
 

Wow everybody!!!

These are my four, all very different. The one at 3 o'clock was my first, never found his look-a-like, and I searched a lot:-(

Thank you so much for the pics too, bubbagump and Tinka.
These are fabulous combos.

What a variety in color, Tinka.
You're right: the Aventurine at 3 o' clock is a special beauty!

This is a favorite with the old silvers and fantasy jaspers.
The aventurines and amethysts bring the jaspers to life.

What gorgeous stones everyone has, certainly makes me want to find more aventurines

here are mines

What a terrific collection of Aventurines

Adore this thread and bracelets - into my favourites box!

I absolutely love all these bracelets. It's amazing to see how much they vary.

Love your blues, Beady-Eyed.

Ooo just found this post.......

I have one or two.........

Beautiful stones and beautiful bracelets!

I love coming back to drool over your stunning stones!
How could I miss the aventurine for so long?

I've just been lucky to find another pale one.

oh I love this one! I'm also lucky to own 1 pale one! I don't know why but it's such a calming feeling around it
