Hematoid Quartz Heart - 1-1.25 inch

The Hematoid Quartz Heart is a warm red-brown stone with a translucent quartz body that carries the colour as internal wisps, clouds, and denser concentrated patches rather than as an even tone. Held to the light the quartz shows through between the inclusions, and the depth of the red-brown shifts as the piece turns. The polish is high and glassy, and the Heart is small enough to carry loose. Inclusion density varies widely, with some pieces almost clear and others fully saturated.

Hematoid Quartz is traditionally associated with protection and grounding, a reading that comes from the hematite content rather than the quartz. A secondary association with clarity and focus reflects the quartz half, and the stone's reputation rests specifically on that pairing of steadiness with amplification, which is one reason it is sought after among inclusion materials. Hearts this size are typically carried or kept in a small dish rather than displayed, and they suit grid work where a compact stone is needed.

Geological Information
Hematoid Quartz is clear quartz containing natural hematite inclusions, silicon dioxide with iron oxide distributed through the matrix, crystallising in the trigonal system at a Mohs hardness of 7. The red-brown colouring appears as wisps, clouds, or concentrated patches depending on how the iron-bearing solutions moved through the quartz during or after crystallisation, which is why no two pieces share the same distribution. Those inclusions are entirely internal and natural, not a surface coating or stain, and the quartz base retains its full hardness regardless of how much hematite it carries. The material is natural and requires no treatment. There is no ancient tradition under this name, which is a modern retail designation, though both quartz and hematite carry extensive independent histories across cultures. It occurs globally wherever hematite is present in quartz-bearing deposits, with Brazil and Madagascar the main commercial sources.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.
