Hematoid quartz meteorite from Madagascar – Flame, weighing 657 g and measuring 122 × 80 × 40 mm.
Description from the seller
This hematoid quartz presents a wide and airy internal structure, where the silica appears traversed by light ferruginous inclusions, distributed in a diffuse and irregular manner. The tones range from pale pink to warm pink, with more milky zones alternating with parts that are more transparent, creating a soft and continuous whole. Inside the crystal, growth surfaces, fractures, and internal planes intersect in an oblique orientation. These elements tell of crystallization that occurred in successive stages, with delicate chemical variations. Iron appears as thin veils and more concentrated patches, without interrupting the overall legibility of the mass. The polish accentuates the shape, highlighting the optical depth of the quartz and the quality of the silica, which diffuses light uniformly. The visual effect changes considerably with lighting, revealing different internal details depending on the viewing angle. The harmonious silhouette enhances the material, allowing the internal structure to remain the true protagonist.
