Hematite quartz, also known as fire quartz, is a stone that combines hematite and quartz. Hematite is an iron oxide mineral that's common in rock formation and can be found in many places around the world. Quartz crystals are said to cleanse negative energy and transmute it into positive, healing energy. When combined, some say the stones can:

  • Balance the mind, body, and spirit

  • Enhance focus and self-esteem

  • Bring clarity and a sense of groundedness

  • Help with love

  • Remind one of their authentic power

  • Infuse a stream of loving consciousness

Hematite can appear in quartz in a variety of ways, including: Deep blood-red crystals, Columnar stacks of hexagonal platelets, Radiating needle-like shapes, Thread-like forms, and Boitroidal crystal aggregates with a metallic silver color. 

When hematite is in quartz, it appears translucent because the mineral is diffused throughout the quartz. For example, a matrix specimen of quartz crystals can be heavily included with microscopic granular hematite, giving the crystals a rich reddish color. 

Hematite can be found in many places, including:

  • Banded iron formations: Large deposits of hematite can be found in these formations.

  • Standing water: Gray hematite can be found in places with still water or mineral hot springs, such as Yellowstone National Park. The hematite can precipitate in the water and collect in layers at the bottom.

  • Volcanic activity: Hematite can also occur without water, usually as a result of volcanic activity.

  • Weathered iron formations: Hematite can be found as a soft massive material in weathered iron formations, such as the Riverton iron formation.

  • Igneous rocks: Hematite can be found as an accessory mineral in many igneous rocks.

  • Sedimentary rocks: Hematite is almost always used as a pigmenting agent in sedimentary and other rocks.
