About the stone: Hematoidal quartz (sometimes called fire quartz or harlequin quartz) is a variety of quartz that contains inclusions of iron oxides, most commonly hematite and sometimes goethite. These inclusions create striking red, orange, yellow, or brown coloration inside otherwise clear or milky quartz crystals. Quartz crystals grow from silica-rich fluids underground. During crystal growth, iron-bearing minerals become trapped inside the quartz. Over time, these inclusions oxidize, forming tiny crystals or coatings of hematite and related minerals within the quartz.
