10.7" Polished Hematoid Quartz Free Form

This is beautiful, 10.7" tall piece of hematoid quartz that has been polished into a flame-like shape. The coloration is a wonderful combination of deep pinks, oranges, and reds along the internal fracturing in the quartz.

Hematoid quartz, also commonly referred to as Harlequin Quartz, is the name for quartz that contains heavy concentrations of hematite or limonite. The inclusions of these iron based minerals result in interesting reddish-orange streaks along fractures within the quartz, exhibiting a wispy appearance. Often this quartz is heat-treated to enhance and darken the color, but the specimens we have are natural.
