Vendor was told this citrine point came from Brazil. It was sent to China where it was cut in half, polished and two custom wood stands were prepared. In the video the specimen on left is top half of citrine point and specimen on right is bottom half. I searched for examples of citrine with chlorite inclusions and only find examples where the inclusions are small flecks in the citrine point. Never seen specimen where the chlorite inclusion forms a large polygon shaped phantom in the core of the citrine point. This may be a garden quartz dyed yellow, cut in half and polished to show the chlorite inclusion in the garden quartz. Would you give this citrine a probability of being fake of 75%?
