4.8" Natural, Red Quartz Crystal Cluster - Morocco

Morocco is one of the few sources of natural red quartz (also known ferruginous quartz) crystals. The red coloration of these quartz specimens is a result of iron oxidation (hematite) on and/or within the crystals. Some specimens can show banding-like patterns within their crystals when viewed in cross section, indicating that the iron content varied during formation. This can result in wonderful red quartz specimens that have clear quartz coatings and deep red phantoms within.
