Coral teaches patience. The colony may grow as little as a millimeter in a year. The result is one of nature's most impressive sculptures with no two exactly alike. Likewise, you need to learn how to pace your spiritual growth in such a way you can internalize and apply it, creating inner beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe name \"Aventurine\" comes from the Italian word \"a ventura\", which translates to \"by chance\". A member of the quartz family, aventurine is a mixture of quartz and feldspar, with mineral inclusions such as mica or hematite that create its unique appearance. Quartz Crystal gets its name from the Greek krystallos, meaning ice, as it was thought that Clear Quartz was actually ice formed by the Gods and the word Quartz is attributed to the German word of Slavic origin Quarz, meaning hard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuartz is piezoelectric: a crystal develops positive and negative charges on alternate prism edges when it is subjected to pressure or tension.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuartz is the best-known piezoelectric gem--that is, it is able to carry an electrical charge when exposed to an applied voltage, in response to pressure or in response to mechanical stressors. Quartz is also a pyroelectric gem--able to generate an electric charge through rapid states of temperature change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(These are the scientific qualities behind reliable and accurate quartz movements in watches (regardless of weather). The same properties mean it is ideal for use in microphones, speakers, filters--even sonar!)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuartz is an example of a naturally occurring piezoelectric crystal. Quartz crystals are made of silicon and oxygen atoms in a repeating pattern. In quartz, the silicon atoms have a positive charge and oxygen atoms have a negative charge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis listing includes one 3 or 5 Strand necklace per order*\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGemstone: Natural Coral \u0026amp; Natural Aventurine Green Quartz\u003cbr\u003eColor: Orange, green\u003cbr\u003eTransparency: Semi-translucent to Opaque\u003cbr\u003eCut: Polished Bead\u003cbr\u003eShape: Tube, Oval\u003cbr\u003eBead Size (mm): Coral: Approx 6x5-18x5, Aventurine: 6x4-9x7mm\u003cbr\u003eTreatment: Gems have been stabilized and color treated\u003cbr\u003eSKU: 6143321, 6143322\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taj Mahal Gems","offers":[{"title":"3 Strand Necklace","offer_id":43253519581231,"sku":"6143321","price":103.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Strand Necklace","offer_id":43253519613999,"sku":"6143322","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/7411\/0255\/files\/coral-and-aventurine-beaded-necklace-1292758.jpg?v=1753832510","url":"https:\/\/www.tajmahalgems.com\/products\/coral-and-aventurine-bead-necklace","provider":"Taj Mahal Gems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
