Natural Hematoid Quartz point from Madagascar, measuring 3.5 inches high. This polished crystal exhibits warm red, orange, and golden hues caused by hematite inclusions within clear quartz — a perfect fusion of clarity and fire from one of Madagascar’s most active mineral regions.

This 3.5-inch Hematoid Quartz point from Madagascar is a naturally polished specimen rich in hematite inclusions. Hematoid Quartz, also known as Fire Quartz, forms when iron oxide (hematite) becomes trapped within growing quartz crystals during hydrothermal activity. The result is a striking combination of transparent quartz clarity and red-to-golden internal veils, giving each specimen a fiery internal glow.
Madagascar is renowned for its exceptional quartz variety due to its complex volcanic and metamorphic geology, where silica-rich fluids mix with iron-bearing minerals under slow-cooling conditions.

Hematoid Quartz forms in hydrothermal quartz veins, often where iron-rich solutions infuse into silica layers during crystal growth. As hematite settles within the quartz lattice, it produces internal color zoning ranging from deep crimson to amber gold. Each point is unique, reflecting the natural interplay between clear quartz and hematite inclusions.
This specimen features a single polished point, 3.5 inches tall, with dramatic flame-like internal inclusions and excellent luster. The transition between color zones is fluid and organic — ideal for collectors, display use, or photography showcasing Madagascar’s distinct quartz formations.
Collector display specimen illustrating hematite inclusion formation.
Decorative accent for home or mineral exhibits.
Educational tool demonstrating hydrothermal crystallization in iron-rich systems.
Hematoid Quartz is often associated with balance, grounding, and vitality. The quartz element is said to amplify clarity and focus, while the hematite inclusion symbolizes strength and transformation — combining mental clarity with energetic stability.
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth only.
Avoid prolonged sunlight to preserve natural coloration.
