Aquamarine or aventurine?

Deanne

I picked up a tumbled stone at a shop a few weeks ago, and don't remember which of these it is. I know I had looked at both, then chose this one. Is there any way to tell what this is?

I've attached a picture in case that helps

If anyone can help me identify this stone that would be great!
I'll gladly answer any questions that you may have - not sure what info is needed :)

Looks like aquamarine to me :) enter "aquamarine tumbled stone" in your google search, and click on "images". You will see many that look like your own - including the indentation on the end of it.

It looks the wrong colour to be aventurine, imo...

I agree with Padma. It looks like Aquamarine to me,too. Aventurine is a different (and usually darker) green.

Thank you both!

That's what I'd been leaning towards, but I wasn't positive - I found some images of both that looked similar and I'm still quite new to crystals, so was really second-guessing myself :)
