About Hematoid Quartz
Hematoid quartz, also commonly referred to as Harlequin Quartz, is the name for quartz that contains heavy concentrations of hematite or limonite. The inclusions of these iron based minerals result in interesting reddish-orange streaks along fractures within the quartz, exhibiting a wispy appearance. Often this quartz is heat-treated to enhance and darken the color.
