African Fire Quartz, also known as Hematoid Quartz, is a striking crystal characterized by its translucent to opaque appearance with fiery red or orange inclusions of hematite or goethite. In its raw state, it appears as clear or milky quartz with embedded reddish-brown mineral streaks or patches, giving it a vibrant, glowing effect. Geologically, Fire Quartz forms in silica-rich environments through hydrothermal processes, where hot, mineral-laden waters deposit silica and hematite within quartz veins. Its colors result from iron oxide inclusions, which give it its fiery appearance.
