A 3-inch golden healer quartz point from Brazil featuring a warm golden tint created by natural iron oxide, polished to reveal clarity and internal glow.
In stock
This 3-inch golden healer quartz point is carved from natural Brazilian quartz enriched by a thin film of iron oxide within the crystal. Skilled lapidaries shape the stone into a polished point that highlights its warm golden tones, subtle internal rainbows, and occasional mineral veils.
As light moves across the facets, the golden tint shifts from soft honey-yellow to deeper amber shades, giving the piece a radiant, glowing appearance.
Golden healer quartz forms when hematite or limonite—both iron oxide minerals—coat or penetrate quartz during its growth. These iron-rich films settle inside the crystal or along fracture planes, creating the warm yellow, amber, or soft golden coloration that defines the variety.
Brazil’s pegmatite fields are well-known for producing golden quartz with:
High clarity
Even iron coating
Strong internal reflections
The combination of quartz and iron oxide results from silica-rich hydrothermal fluids interacting with iron-bearing rock during crystallization.

Iron-stained quartz has been recognized since antiquity, appearing in Roman jewelry, early European carving traditions, and later as a collector’s mineral prized for its warm glow. The modern trade name “golden healer” gained traction in the late 20th century when specimens with vivid golden coloring began emerging from Brazilian pegmatites.
Its luminous tone and natural transparency make it a favorite for carved points and polished wands.
Symbolically, golden healer quartz is often associated with:
Clarity with warmth, reflected in its golden coloration
Balance and renewal, inspired by the interplay of quartz and iron
Radiant presence, echoing its glowing internal reflections
Harmonizing energy, tied to the soft, sunlit tones within the crystal
At 3 inches, this golden healer point is compact yet visually luminous. The polished facets emphasize internal gold hues and the clean termination provides a symmetrical, refined structure. Its subtle glow makes it suitable for mantel displays, mineral shelves, intention spaces, or light-filled windowsills.
Clean with warm water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Store separately from harder stones to maintain its polished finish.
