- Abstract
The article presents the result of an examination of a rose quartz from Madagascar that contained some unusual inclusions, which was submitted to the GIA Laboratory in Carlsbad, California. The quartz was obtained by Fabrice Danet of Style Gems, Antsirabe, Madagascar, and came from various pits in a weathered pegmatite that contained beryl, black tourmaline, mica, clay and areas of rose quartz. Based on standard gemological testing, the specimen contained green inclusion adjacent to an orange inclusion.
