Raw Fire Quartz Crystal | New Moon Beginnings

All our minerals and crystals are carefully measured with digital measuring instruments that provide the high accuracy of numbers/values! Red Phantom Quartz crystals are formed when deposits of iron oxide coat the outside of the quartz crystal point. Thus a ‘phantom layer’ of the iron oxide resides within the quartz crystal point. When viewed from the side, it appears that a red crystal point has grown inside the larger quartz point. Often the inclusions appear as tiny reddish brown or black 'stars' or clouds within the termination end of a Quartz point. Hematoid Quartz is also known as Specularite Quartz. Red Phantom Crystals are Quartz (silica dioxide) that contain Iron Oxides, such as Hematite, represented as the chemical composition SiO2 + Fe2O3. The hardness of the structure of crystals varies with Hematite - 5.5-6.5 on the Mohs scale and Quartz rating as a 7. Chemical Composition: (SiO2) with Hematite, Goethite or Limonite inclusions; Color: Brown, Combination, Red, Yellow, Rose; Kindly note that all stones are offered for decorative purposes only. Please, handle your stones with great care, do not grind or crumble them, do not dip or add them into your food or drink, do not use any parts of them in any elixirs, potions, lotions etc. Always make sure you wash your hands before and after working with your crystals.)
