Nat Strawberry Quartz From Morocco 1.65 CT
Natural Strawberry Quartz from Morocco—also known as Red Hematoid Quartz—gets its signature pink to deep-red color from oxidized iron (hematite) inclusions. Mined extensively in areas like Sidi Rahal, this material is highly valued by collectors and crystal enthusiasts for its soothing energy and striking inclusions.
Key Characteristics & Origins
- Mineral Breakdown: Moroccan Strawberry Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide with natural hematite or iron oxide trapped inside the crystal structure.
- Locality: Sidi Rahal, located in the Marrakesh-Safi region, is the primary source for this material, which is often found in the form of clusters and vugs (geode cavities).
- Appearance: Ranges from translucent, pale pink with visible red "strawberry seeds" (hematite specs) to deeply saturated, dark red or brown clusters.
- Metaphysical Focus: Crystal healers associate this stone with the Heart, Root, and Sacral Chakras, using it for emotional grounding, stress relief, and increasing feelings of self-worth and love
