Red Quartz on Gneiss custom base Crystal- 1228 g

A magnificent natural specimen of red quartz (hematoid quartz) from Morocco, characterized by an intense deep red coloration due to rich inclusions of iron oxides (hematite). The piece displays a remarkable geometric structure composed of multiple angular, sharply defined crystal formations, giving the specimen a highly sculptural and architectural presence. ​The rich brick-red tones, combined with the natural crystalline surfaces, make this specimen a remarkably decorative mineral, highly appreciated by collectors and interior enthusiasts alike. While quartz is one of the most widespread minerals on Earth, specimens with such intense hematite saturation and distinctive cluster growth are particularly sought after. ​The specimen is mounted securely on a custom-crafted grey gneiss stone base with metal supports, turning this rare mineral into a refined, standalone natural sculpture. ​Mineral Species: Hematite on Quartz (Red Quartz / Hematoid Quartz) ​Origin: Morocco ​Display Base: Custom grey gneiss stone base with metal stand Weight (mineral): 1128 g ​An extraordinary and decorative mineral specimen, ideal for high-end collections or as an exclusive aesthetic element.
