Himalayan Hematoid Quartz Cluster 96mm — Red Quartz

A Himalayan Hematoid Quartz cluster, 96mm wide and 547g, with a warm reddish glow throughout caused by natural iron oxide inclusions, sometimes called red quartz for that same colouring.

What makes hematoid quartz different from ordinary iron-stained Himalayan material? The distinction is really one of degree and distribution. Hematoid quartz carries iron oxide worked more thoroughly through the crystal structure rather than sitting purely as a surface stain, giving it a more consistent reddish cast throughout rather than a rusty tint on one face. That combines the amplifying reputation of clear quartz with the grounding, stabilising associations of hematite itself, traditionally linked to confidence and emotional stability.

A closer look

This cluster formed at high altitude in the Himalayan range, where iron rich groundwater circulating through the same hydrothermal pockets that fed the quartz's growth left behind the mineral staining visible throughout. Each point in the cluster carries its own share of that colouring, since all the crystals shared the same iron-bearing environment as they grew together.

Living with your Himalayan Hematoid Quartz

The warm colouring suits a desk, an office, or a meditation space where a grounding presence is wanted. Quartz is hard and water safe, so a gentle wipe with a damp cloth and a dry buff keeps it looking its best.
