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.
Mohs Hardness
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 WaterRecommended
Cleanses physical and energetic impurities
Purifies and aligns fire and air energies
Short exposure recharges fiery inclusions
Balancing lunar energy softens intensity
Avoid
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
mediumExposure to strong acids can damage quartz and iron inclusions.
Fracture Risk
mediumSudden 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.
