Description

Natural quartz cluster featuring metallic specularite crystals from Inner Mongolia.

This specimen displays a sparkling layer of clear to milky quartz crystals accented by dark metallic specularite blades scattered across the surface. The reflective specularite gives the piece a subtle shimmer when viewed under light, contrasting beautifully with the lighter quartz matrix.

A great collector specimen showcasing the natural association between quartz and iron oxide minerals.
Geological Specifications

Minerals: Quartz with Specularite (Hematite variety)
Locality: Inner Mongolia, China
Crystal System:
• Quartz – Trigonal
• Specularite/Hematite – Trigonal
Hardness:
• Quartz – 7
• Hematite – 5–6.5 (Mohs scale)

Specularite is a shiny, metallic variety of hematite that forms thin plate-like crystals. Its reflective surface often gives specimens a glittering or mirror-like appearance.

Quartz frequently grows alongside hematite in hydrothermal mineral environments, creating striking natural combinations like this specimen.
Metaphysical Properties
