Pineapple Candle Quartz Specimens from Madagascar

Pineapple Candle Quartz is a striking and complex form of quartz found in Madagascar, distinguished by its unique white patina that often resembles candle wax, hence the name. Adding to its allure, this quartz often features a subtle yet captivating pink to red Hematoid coloration, making these specimens even more remarkable.

This unique variety of quartz showcases an intricate structure that has made it highly sought after by collectors. The deposits in Madagascar yield an impressive range of quartz specimens, including larger single crystals, clusters, and large plate-like formations. These specimens typically feature optic to near-optic white to smoky crystals, often forming in small, densely packed arrangements. The clusters may exhibit either a plate-like or complex vug-like habit, enhancing their visual appeal.

Madagascar's extensive quartz mining operations, particularly in the north and south, have uncovered some of the finest examples of this beautiful mineral, making Pineapple Candle Quartz a standout in any collection.
