    I have been told that there is some material from Perthshire that is
    similar to the Cairngorm quartz. It is still from Scotland but from a
    different region. For  Many years Scottish jewelers have used smoky
    quartz or citrine as a substitute for Cairngorm, but the original 
    stuff is more of a brownish tea color. There was a Scottish stone
    dealer who expected to have some available but I have been waiting
    more than two years to hear from him. I can't seem to find his card as
    it has been a long time.
