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.

Opaque: These green aventurine beads have fairly poor clarity - we can't see through them, they don't glow.	Translucent: This is the typical clarity for aventurine.  A piece like this is totally acceptable -see how its edges have a kind of glow?	As Clear as it gets:  These aventurine beads have exceptionally good clarity.  However, they are missing some color because of it.	The right inclusions:  This aventurine gemstone has very good clarity coupled with fine green mica inclusions that enhance its value.
