I didn't know that the color of tangerine quartz can be from the impurities inside. I thought it was only on the outside.
And also I didn't know that the color can be made by man.
I became very curious, so today I bought some tangerine quartz. I'm going to attach the pictures.
The lady said these are from Brazil...

The lady I bought those from didn't know where they are from in Brazil.
So, if what you see on tangerine quartz is not limonite, you would think it is iron coated by man?
