Large Collector Red Quartz Crystal Cluster – Ferruginous Quartz Morocco (248.7g)

Geological Formation

This large ferruginous quartz specimen from Tinejdad, Morocco, developed its red coloration through iron-oxide (hematite) inclusion during crystal growth. The varying iron concentration creates subtle tonal transitions across the crystal faces.

Crystal Complexity & Collector Presence

Measuring 97 mm and weighing 248.7 g, this piece presents a multi-directional crystal formation with pronounced terminations. The interplay between iron-rich red quartz and lighter matrix zones creates depth and visual complexity, making it suitable as a centerpiece specimen in a mineral collection.
