i got two specimens of chinese green quartz along with one heliodore crystal from one of my friend in 2005 , who always bringing like these amazing materials from china.the green coloration of these quartz is due to superheating process in the presence of chromium. anyway enhancing a gem crystal like this manner doesn't bother me.these are fake.i don't suppose if some body is going to disclose its true origin and treatment activities when selling like these stuffs on ebay or on their websites.a responsible seller provides much more information to their customers ,and mostly avoid these materials to offer, besides these i have seen many Pakistani , Afghani stuffs especially irritated kunzite ,irritated Scapolites and some other things being offered on many popular websites without disclosing its enhancement/ treatment activities.
