Hematoid Quartz, Hematite Quartz, Fire Quartz, Ferruginous Quartz: What is it Really?

Did you know that when hematite and quartz come together, many types of stones result? They come under trade names like golden healer, red healer, fire quartz, and many more. Hematite can create golden or reddish hues and can be in the form of inclusions or a natural coating.

Ferruginous quartz, also known as hematoid quartz, is a variety of quartz that contains iron oxide inclusions, giving it a reddish-brown or orange color. Its crystal growth habits can vary, with the iron oxide inclusions often forming as needles or strands within the quartz matrix. The chemical composition of ferruginous quartz is primarily silicon dioxide (SiO2) with the addition of iron oxide impurities. Ferruginous quartz can sometimes have a layer of hematite covering the crystal, adding to its unique appearance and properties. This hematite coating can give the quartz a reddish-brown or metallic sheen, enhancing its visual appeal and adding another dimension to its composition. In some cases, ferruginous quartz can appear red-orange throughout due to a high concentration of iron oxide inclusions within the crystal. This abundance of inclusions can give the quartz a consistent reddish-orange coloration, creating a vibrant and visually striking specimen. Golden healer quartz is a trade name for ferruginous quartz that features yellow iron oxide inclusions. The presence of these inclusions not only affects the color of the quartz but also adds to its overall beauty and uniqueness.

Limonite and hematite are iron oxides (limonite is hydrous, meaning water is in its compound) that are often found as gemstone inclusions in quartz. Limonite is often yellowish or brownish while hematite will often show as red. Since limonite forms from the weathering of hematite or other iron-bearing materials, it is easy to conclude that there would be quartz inclusions of both in some mineral deposits.

What does all of this mean for the metaphysical properties? If you look at various sources, the uses are very similar and the lines are often blurred. We provided as much information as possible for the various possibilities.

• Each inclusion holds the properties of the element(s) of which it is composed and works together with the clear quartz.
• Personal Note: I take this to mean that if you “feel called” to a certain included quartz, its properties are meant to help you in some way and that the inclusions bolster the work of the quartz.
