   Bi-color Quartz from Brazil. This material is treated. It is smokey quartz somehow treated to turn half of it into citrine. The Brazilians will not reveal the process, but it is probably heat. The secret is how to get the zoning. Eventually it should be discovered.

    If you see something you want, just click on the 'add' button to the left of each listing. It will be added to your cart. Most items will be single listings. It will noted when more than one is available; if more than one is wanted of those, just add them one at a time to the cart.

   When you are ready, click on the check out button to go to the electronic cashier form. There is more information there about payment options.

 

Bi-Color Quartz from Brazil

   Bicolor Quartz is not normally found in nature. It is either Citrine or Smokey Quartz that is heated in such a way as to form the zoning seen here. The process is undisclosed at this time. Still, Emeralds are oiled, Sapphires are heated and some Tourmalines are heated or irradiated. So I suppose this is acceptable to some. Good looking stuff anyway.

   18x13mm Rectangle. Clean. Pretty good cut. This one has a small bag chip at the end of one side on the girdle. It is hardly noticeable, but I know it's there. So I am discounting this one. How about 16.3 carats @ $1.00/ct?   $16.30 SOLD
