Hematoid Quartz, Fire Quartz or Strawberry Quartz is the name given to Quartz crystals included with Hematite. Often the inclusions appear as tiny reddish brown or black. Hematoid Quartz is also known as Specularite Quartz, Ferruginous Quartz or Fire Quartz. The red coloring you see is where iron oxides have permeated into the crystal as well as a heavy concentration of hematite. This Hematoid Fire Quartz is from Madagascar.
