* Yes, green quartz can be aventurine, but it is not always the case.
Here is the distinction:
Aventurine is a variety of quartz (usually microcrystalline quartz or quartzite) that contains mineral inclusions, such as fuchsite (a green mica), which give it a characteristic glittery sheen called aventurescence .
If a green quartz does not exhibit this sparkling effect (aventurescence), it is not aventurine, even if it is green.
SO :
✅ Green quartz with glitter = Green Aventurine.
❌ Green quartz without glitter = just colored quartz (natural or dyed), not aventurine.
