About This Specimen

This Moroccan hematoid quartz cluster combines deep burgundy-red crystals with clearer, pale quartz along its lower edge. Its varied crystal sizes, glossy faces, contrasting matrix, and micro-druzy texture on the reverse give the miniature specimen visual interest from several viewing angles.

About Hematoid Quartz

Hematoid quartz is quartz whose red, rust-brown, or burgundy appearance comes from hematite or related iron oxides present as inclusions, coatings, or concentrated growth zones. Quartz belongs to the trigonal crystal system, has a Mohs hardness of 7, and commonly forms prismatic crystals with vitreous faces.

Traditional & Metaphysical Associations

In crystal traditions, hematoid quartz is associated with grounding, focus, determination, and balancing practical action with clear intention. It may be kept as a symbolic display piece or used during meditation and intention-setting. Metaphysical properties are based on traditional beliefs and are provided for cultural and informational purposes; they are not scientifically established or intended as medical advice.

Why This Specimen?

The photographed piece offers strong contrast between wine-red iron-rich quartz and brighter translucent crystal growth, while the textured reverse adds a second display surface. Its compact mounted presentation suits a shelf, desk, or miniature mineral collection, with incomplete points honestly reflected in the condition.
