Hematite quartz forms when hematite, an iron oxide mineral, is trapped within a growing quartz crystal during its formation process, usually occurring in hydrothermal environments where mineral-rich fluids deposit both minerals simultaneously, resulting in inclusions of hematite within the quartz matrix, giving the stone its characteristic red or reddish-brown appearance.
Many hematite quartz formations are found in hydrothermal veins, where hot, mineral-laden fluids flow through rock fractures depositing minerals like quartz and hematite. Hematite can also form in sedimentary settings, where it may be deposited alongside quartz grains, leading to inclusions within the quartz.
Also known as fire quartz, this mineral combines the grounding energy of hematite with the amplifying properties of quartz, resulting in a stone believed to promote clarity, stability, focus, and personal power, helping to clear away negative energy and enhance grounding while boosting self-confidence and motivation.
