Hematoid tangerine quartz

Hematoid tangerine quartz is characterized by its color, ranging from orange-red to light brown, resulting from hematite inclusions. Hematite, an iron oxide, gives these stones their distinctive hue and sometimes striped or speckled patterns. These quartzes are often mined in Africa, Brazil, and Madagascar, regions rich in diverse quartz minerals. Their geological formation dates back millions of years, and their color can vary depending on the iron oxide concentration. These stones are polished to enhance their brilliance and translucent clarity.

This stone is sold individually and measures approximately 5 cm.
