Iron Quartz, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Iron Quartz, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Description
This cluster shows elongated, well-terminated quartz points with rich golden-to-rust iron oxide staining across the crystal faces. It has deep amber tones deepening to rusty red-brown in places, with one lighter, more transparent point offering nice contrast against the rest of the cluster. This iron-included material is often traded as "iron quartz" or "golden healer quartz," valued for the warm colouring the iron oxide inclusions bring to otherwise clear quartz. The piece is in excellent condition, self-healed at the base, meaning the crystal naturally regrew and re-terminated after an early break, a desirable trait that shows continued natural growth.
Iron-included quartz like this is well documented from Minas Gerais, Brazil, one of the world's most prolific quartz-producing regions, where iron oxide staining on clear quartz is a recognized and sought-after variety in the trade.
Metaphysically, iron quartz (golden healer quartz) is associated with energetic cleansing and renewal; traditionally regarded as an amplifying stone that channels healing energy and supports a fresh start. The golden tone is often linked to warmth, vitality, and drawing in positive energy.

Note
All crystals and ceramic works offered by Atelier Lithic are inherently unique. Variations in size, colour, surface texture, and form are natural and should be expected.
Crystals are natural materials formed in the earth and may include surface irregularities such as natural fissures, internal veils, growth marks, contact points from where the crystal was attached to the host rock, or areas where the specimen was mined or extracted. These features are part of the crystal’s natural formation and are not considered defects. Defects are disclosed within the item description.
For crystals:
- When a listing includes numbered options (for example, 001, 002, etc.), each number corresponds to a specific crystal shown in the photos. Selecting a number means you will receive that exact crystal.
- When a crystal is shown as a group or range and sold as a quantity of one without numbered options, the images represent examples of what is available. You will receive one crystal, selected from the group, with natural variation.
For ceramics:
- All ceramic pieces are one of a kind. Unless otherwise stated, you will receive the exact piece shown in the listing photos.
