Smoky lemon quartz rutilated obtains its brilliant sparkling color through an artificial gamma-ray irradiation process. Followed by a mild heat treatment. Not all quartz can become lemon quartz.

We use it to produce lemon quartz. If it is first heated and then irradiated. Heat causes the material to lose its color. Also under irradiation treatment, the yellow color returns. Also, lithium-rich quartz expose to very mild heat (140-280 °C). It tends to turn yellowish-green even without irradiation. These could be traded as both citrine or smoky lemon quartz rutilated also. Since they are not irradiated.

Quartz crystals are chiral. It exist in two forms. The normal α-quartz and the high-temperature β-quartz. The transformation from α-quartz to beta-quartz takes place abruptly at 573 °C (846 K). Since the transformation is accompanied by a significant change in volume. It can easily induce fracturing of ceramics. Or rocks passing through this temperature limit.
