    Hi Pat, I'm sure you'll get a lot more accurate answers than the one
    I'm about to provide, but when I came across and purchased some of
    these a few months ago I was told they are a heat-treated quartz. 

    I'll be interested to see what the wise rockhounds on this list have
    to say. :)
