Ferruginous Red Quartz often forms in hydrothermal veins, areas where mineral-rich fluids flowed and deposited crystals. It can also be found in sedimentary rocks near iron ore deposits or in weathered zones where iron minerals oxidize.
Red quartz forms when iron oxide (hematite) coats quartz crystals. This happens deep within the Earth's crust and mantle at high temperatures and pressures. This form of quartz is associated with enhancing passion, vitality and courage.
