Geological Overview

Fire Quartz, also known as Hematoid Quartz, is a variety of silicon dioxide in the Quartz family (silicate class), crystallizing in the trigonal system. Its signature reds and smoky coppers come from hematite (Fe₂O₃) inclusions that formed during quartz growth in hydrothermal veins. This tower displays dense, plate-like hematite layers suspended within transparent to translucent quartz — a textbook example of premium Brazilian material.

Aesthetic Appeal

Tall and elegant, FQ-06 shows dramatic, stacked hematite bands through the body with a brighter, more translucent zone near the termination. Under light it ignites with ember-like tones of garnet, copper and honey, revealing depth and movement across all faces. The termination is crisp and symmetrical, and the even polish maximizes internal clarity.

Metaphysical Properties

Fire Quartz blends the grounding strength of Hematite with the amplifying clarity of Quartz. It is associated with emotional balance, courage and focused vitality, often used to harmonize the root and crown chakras — anchoring energy while supporting clear intention.

Rarity & Collectibility

While Fire Quartz occurs in several localities, towers of this height and weight with such saturated lamination and transmissive glow are increasingly sought after by collectors. The combination of size, structural banding and clean workmanship places this specimen firmly in premium collector grade.
