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 feature a banding-like pattern within the crystal when viewing in cross section, indication the iron content varied during formation of the crystal. This can result in wonderful red quartz specimens that have a clear quartz coating and a deep red phantom within.
