📍 Discovered:
Red Aventurine, like its green counterpart, is most commonly found in India, Brazil, and Russia. It’s a form of quartz with hematite or goethite inclusions, giving it a rich red-orange to brick-red hue. While Aventurine has been used since ancient times, red varieties gained popularity in the metaphysical community in more recent decades for their motivating and energizing qualities.
