Hematoid Quartz
Hematoid quartz is a type of quartz that contains hematite inclusions, resulting in its distinctive red or orange coloration. Metaphysically, it's believed to promote physical vitality, strengthen the immune system, and balance emotional energies. Geologically, it forms when iron-rich fluids infiltrate cavities containing growing quartz crystals.
Metaphysical Properties:
- Physical: Hematoid quartz is thought to stimulate blood circulation, enhance tissue regeneration, and relieve headaches and muscle cramps.
- Emotional: It's considered a grounding stone, promoting inner strength, resilience, and balancing physical and emotional energies.
- Other: Some believe it can boost willpower, courage, and promote good luck.
Geological Properties:
- Formation: Hematoid quartz forms in geological settings where iron-rich fluids (containing hematite) infiltrate cavities containing growing quartz crystals.
- Coloration: The red, orange, or yellow color is due to the presence and concentration of hematite inclusions within the quartz.
