16" Natural,, Red Quartz Crystal Cluster - Morocco
This is a HUGE, red quartz crystal cluster from Morocco. The red coloring is completely natural and due to the presence of iron oxide within the crystals. The entire cluster weighs over 25 lbs and has crystal points projecting from all sides so that it can be displayed in many different orientations. The points have nice terminations with some of them being more tabular in shape. The entire cluster measures 16 x 10 x 9.5". You rarely see red quartz clusters this large.
Morocco is one of the few sources of natural red quartz (also known ferruginous quartz) crystals. The red coloration of these quartz specimens is a result of iron oxidation (hematite) on and/or within the crystals. Some specimens can show banding-like patterns within their crystals when viewed in cross section, indicating that the iron content varied during formation. This can result in wonderful red quartz specimens that have clear quartz coatings and deep red phantoms within.
