    About Fire Quartz

    Fire Quartz, also known as Hematoid Quartz, looks like clear quartz set ablaze with bursts of red, orange or golden inclusions of iron oxide. As quartz formed, iron-rich liquids filled fractures and internal spaces, staining the crystal with streaks that resemble flames frozen in stone. This dynamic interplay of clear and fiery colours invites you to integrate your passion and clarity, transforming raw energy into focused intention.

    Metaphysical Properties

    Mohs hardness 7 out of 10. Reference: 1 Talc (softest), 7 Quartz, 10 Diamond (hardest).

    Fire Quartz shares quartz’s Mohs hardness of 7:contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.

    Handling: The quartz matrix is tough, but iron inclusions may create internal stress points. Avoid strong impacts or extreme heat that might cause fractures.

    Origins

    • Brazil

    How to Use

    Fire Quartz is durable but sensitive to chemicals and sudden temperature changes. Treat it like other quartz crystals.

    • Avoid strong acids like hydrofluoric acid which dissolve quartz
    • Do not expose to sudden temperature changes
    • Safe for water cleansing; dry thoroughly afterwards
    • Store separately to prevent scratching softer stones

    Care & Cleansing

    Brief Water

    Recommended

    Running WaterPreferred

    Cleanses physical and energetic impurities

    Sage/Palo Santo SmokePreferred

    Purifies and aligns fire and air energies

    Sunlight

    Short exposure recharges fiery inclusions

    MoonlightPreferred

    Balancing lunar energy softens intensity

    Avoid

    Chemical Cleaners

    Strong acids and alkalis can damage quartz and iron oxides

    Storage

    Store Fire Quartz wrapped in soft cloth and keep away from harsh chemicals and extreme heat.

    Safety

    Acid Damage

    medium

    Exposure to strong acids can damage quartz and iron inclusions.

    Fracture Risk

    medium

    Sudden temperature changes can crack the stone due to internal inclusions.

    Fire Quartz is for external use only and should not be used for elixirs or ingestion. Handle carefully to protect iron inclusions.
