Fire Quartz Madagascar Crystal - Tumbled

Fire Quartz Madagascar Crystal - Tumbled (shop SKU DFQF6) is offered as a tumbled stone online and at the bookshop on West 14th Street.

Hematoid, or fire, quartz is quartz included or stained by hematite, which can give red, rust, or yellow tones. In crystal traditions, it is associated with vitality and grounding. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Tumbled stones are polished in a drum, which softens sharp edges and brings out color. Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed. The title gives the origin as Madagascar.
