This crystal is what we affectionately term a "freak". We love our freaks and Madagascar makes them quite frequently. This is an epidote included girasol point, which, I must admit... is the first I've ever seen.
The name “girasol” is given to stones that display a misty opalescence or a floating glow similar to moonstone’s adularescence. The name comes from a Venetian glass called girasole (Italian, “turn to the sun”) invented to replicate opals, colored blue and gold by the Rayleigh scattering of light like opalite. Just as there are star rubies, garnets, and diopsides, the girasol effect may be found in opals, sapphires, and this white variety of Madagascan rose quartz. Girasol quartz comes from the same mines as rose quartz and may also display asterism. According to current theories rose quartz is colored by a previously unknown mineral called “dididumortierite”. Since the fibers can lose their pink color when heated, girasol quartz may be white because of exposure to underground magmatic activity.
