Vintage Madagascar Genuine Crystal Smoky Yellow Quartz Crystal (Heat Treated)

Vintage Madagascar Genuine Crystal Smoky Yellow Quartz Crystal (Heat Treated). These were purchased in Madagascar when we lived there in 60’ and 70’s. Beautiful pieces to add to your healing. This is a yellow, smoky quartz crystal cluster from Ansirabe, Madagascar. Madagascar produces some beautiful quartz crystal specimens, some of which come from the Ambolo quartz mine in Antsirabe. Smoky quartz and citrine quartz have also been collected from this area, but the supply of natural citrine is extremely limited. This specimen has the trademark yellow "citrine" coloration, but it is not natural. It acquired its color by heat treating smoky quartz. The yellow "citrine" quartz coming out of Madagascar is heat treated, even though dealers list it as "natural". Natural citrine is quite rare and the cost will typically reflect this. Measurements approximately 8”x 3”. Weight 1029 grams or 2 lb. None smoking home. Priced at as is condition. Don’t like my price make a reasonable offer!
