MINERALOGY: Red Quartz is a variety of quartz (SiO₂) that gains its vivid color from inclusions or coatings of iron oxide, such as hematite. These red hues can form either as an internal inclusion or as a natural coating over clear quartz points, resulting in crystals that may appear fiery or earthy in tone. Red Quartz typically forms in hexagonal prisms with a trigonal crystal system and has a Mohs hardness of 7, making it durable and excellent for metaphysical use. It is often found in association with other quartz varieties and iron-rich minerals.

HOW TO USE: Hold Red Quartz during meditation or place it at your feet to ground your energy. It's particularly helpful during times of fatigue or emotional depletion, as it revitalizes and strengthens the energetic body.

HEALING PROPERTIES: Red Quartz is known for its energizing and strengthening properties. It’s believed to stimulate vitality, courage, and willpower. Often used to balance the root chakra, Red Quartz can help release fear, promote self-confidence, and enhance motivation—making it ideal for those needing a powerful energetic reset.

AREAS OF PLACEMENT: Place Red Quartz at the entrance of your home or workspace to promote protection and grounded energy. It also works well in meditation corners to support stamina, passion, and focus.
