Rich Red Hematoid Quartz Crystal Cluster - Height: 10 cm - Width: 8.8 cm- 297 g

Expert

Selected by Antonio Rapisarda

A substantial and highly aesthetic cluster of Hematoid Quartz (Ferruginous Quartz) from Tinejdad, Er Rachidia, Morocco. The specimen features numerous well-formed, doubly-terminated and sharply defined quartz crystals showing a rich, deep brick-red to terracotta color caused by natural hematite inclusions. Many of the primary larger prisms are coated with a secondary layer of sparkling, tiny quartz micro-crystals, creating a striking "cactus quartz" habit. The luster is strong and glassy on the main crystal faces, with minimal damage to the primary terminations.
