Rainbow quartz is a term used for describeing two states of quartz crystal. One state, is a quartz crystal that has been fractured internally. The refraction of light through the crystal, produces a rainbow color spectrum. The second state, are quartz crystals that have been coated in titanium. The coating gives the surface of the quartz a rainbow effect.

How do you differentiate between mystic topaz and mystic quartz?

Mystic quartz is similar to mystic topaz. Each are white (colorless) stones to start with, then a treatment is applied to offer it in the mystic color. The treatment was originally developed for topaz stones. As demand grew, scientists figured out the way to apply their therapy to quartz at the same time. Why is that great? three causes: (1) Quartz and topaz share equivalent optical properties, so you cannot tell the difference visually. (2) Quartz is readily out there in bigger sizes. (3) Quartz has a lower precise gravity than topaz -- therefore, with two stones from the same exact size, the quartz will weigh much less by about 30%, yielding tremendous price savings.
