Product Description
Introduction
This commanding 20 cm Brazilian Fire Quartz tower is a standout example of Hematoid Quartz at its finest. The piece is layered with deep red, smoky, and copper-toned hematite bands that create a dramatic, flame-like internal landscape. When illuminated, it glows with a molten amber warmth, revealing remarkable depth and movement within the quartz.
Its tall, elegant proportions and richly saturated color make this a premium centerpiece specimen — visually powerful, energetically grounding, and impeccably polished.
Geological Details
Fire Quartz, or Hematoid Quartz, is a variety of silicon dioxide enriched with iron oxide. As part of the Quartz family within the silicate class, it crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system. The intense red and smoky brown coloration comes from hematite that became trapped during quartz formation in hydrothermal fissures.
This region of Minas Gerais is globally recognized for producing Fire Quartz with exceptional clarity and distinct hematite lamination. The layered structure visible in this tower reflects multiple phases of mineral growth, creating the striking, banded flame texture seen throughout the specimen.
Aesthetic Appeal
This tower displays a uniquely bold aesthetic — dense, layered hematite plates contrasted with translucent quartz zones that glow vividly under light. The internal geometry gives the stone a geological “stratified fire” appearance, with shifting tones of garnet-red, amber, espresso, and silver-grey.
The polish is clean and even across all facets, accentuating the internal complexity. Its tall, narrow form adds elegance and presence, making it a commanding display crystal in any setting.
Metaphysical Properties
Fire Quartz is prized for its grounding energy and emotional stabilizing qualities. Combining Hematite’s strength with Clear Quartz’s amplification, this stone is said to promote clarity, courage, and focused intention. It supports the root chakra, anchoring the mind and emotions while encouraging resilience and confidence.
Rarity
Specimens with this level of saturation, lamination, and translucency are significantly less common than lighter or cloudier Fire Quartz. The sharply defined hematite bands and high internal clarity place this tower in the premium collector-grade category, especially at a substantial 20 cm height.
Why You Will Love This
This is the kind of Fire Quartz tower that feels alive — visually dynamic, richly coloured, and full of depth. Whether used for meditation, grounding work, or as a statement piece in your collection, it offers both aesthetic impact and energetic presence. Every turn reveals new detail within the layered mineral structure.

Collector’s Note
Large Fire Quartz towers of this clarity and depth have become increasingly difficult to source. Collectors favor specimens from Minas Gerais for their refined polish, vibrant internal structure, and superior translucency — all of which this tower exemplifies beautifully.
Display Recommendations
This piece is best displayed under warm LED or natural sunlight, where the internal fire tones ignite. It pairs beautifully with dark wood, matte black stands, or marble surfaces to enhance its contrast and visual impact.
