A NOTE FROM NICK
A large flat of natural cascading Candle Quartz crystals. This has always been known as "Anananas" or Pineapple quartz from the Antsirabe region of Madagascar. They were very common many years ago, but the deposit has mostly been mined out now. Very aesthetic cascading sides and in nice condition.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Candle Quartz: A Unique and Beautiful Quartz Formation from Madagascar
Candle Quartz is a variety of Quartz, closely related to Pineapple (Love) Quartz, characterized by its white patina exterior, resembling candle wax, hence the name. This unique form of Quartz is found in Madagascar, known for producing a wide range of quartz varieties both in the north and south of the country.
