Hematoid quartz bracelet Brazil A (baroque pearls)

Hematoid Quartz (Strawberry Quartz) Bracelet Brazil A (baroque beads)

Beautiful hematoid quartz bracelet from Brazil, also marketed as strawberry quartz, composed of baroque beads with lovely pink, red, orange, and translucent shades.

The iron oxide inclusions in the quartz create unique patterns and give the stone its characteristic warm tones. With its irregular beads and natural variations, each bracelet is unique.

This grade A hematoid quartz bracelet from Brazil is made of polished natural baroque stones.

Hematoid quartz is a variety of quartz characterized by the presence of inclusions or deposits of iron oxides, notably hematite. These inclusions are responsible for its beautiful red, pink, orange, or reddish-brown tones.

The transparency of the quartz sometimes allows these inclusions to be observed within the stone itself, giving rise to fascinating mineral patterns.

Colors can vary greatly from one bead to another: some will be essentially translucent with fine red inclusions, while others will show much more significant pink or orange coloration.

Baroque beads have naturally irregular shapes that enhance the authentic appearance of the bracelet and particularly highlight the diversity of inclusions.

With a length of approximately 17 to 18 cm, this elastic bracelet is suitable for wrists measuring approximately 16 to 18 cm. Its weight of about 7 g makes it easy to wear daily.

Shapes, patterns, inclusions, transparencies, and colors can vary considerably from one stone to another and from one bracelet to another. Each item is unique.

Virtues of Hematoid Quartz in Lithotherapy

In lithotherapy, hematoid quartz is traditionally associated with both the energy of quartz and the grounding symbolism of hematite.

It is thus appreciated for symbolically promoting a better balance between dynamism and stability.

Hematoid quartz is traditionally associated with motivation, willpower, and self-confidence. It is chosen during periods when one wishes to regain more drive or materialize new projects.

It is also associated with grounding and centering, symbolically helping to channel dispersed energy and focus on one's goals.

Its red and orange tones primarily associate it with the root chakra and the sacral chakra, traditionally linked to grounding, vitality, and creativity.

The properties attributed to stones are derived from the traditions and beliefs of lithotherapy. They do not replace a diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice.

What is Hematoid Quartz?

Hematoid quartz is a type of quartz whose coloration is linked to the presence of iron oxides, especially hematite.

These minerals can appear as fine inclusions, clouds, filaments, spots, or colored areas.

Depending on their concentration, the quartz can retain significant transparency or exhibit a much more intense reddish-orange color.

It is this combination of quartz transparency and iron oxides that gives each stone a different appearance.

Where do its red and orange colors come from?

The colors of hematoid quartz are essentially linked to the presence of iron compounds.

Depending on the nature and concentration of the inclusions, the tones can range from orange-yellow to deep red, including pink, peach, and reddish-brown.

Some stones only have a few colored inclusions in an almost transparent quartz, while others are much more intensely colored.

Hematoid Quartz and Strawberry Quartz: Are they the same stone?

The names can be confusing.

The term hematoid quartz generally describes quartz containing inclusions or deposits of iron oxides.

The name "strawberry quartz" is primarily a trade name used for various quartz types that have a pink to red coloration and fine inclusions sometimes reminiscent of the appearance of a strawberry.

Depending on suppliers and deposits, materials marketed as strawberry quartz can therefore have different characteristics.

For this reason, the designation "hematoid quartz (strawberry quartz)" is appropriate for your product if it is identified as such by your supplier.

Hematoid Quartz and Rose Quartz: What's the difference?

Rose quartz generally has a soft, relatively homogeneous pink color, often with a milky appearance.

Hematoid quartz, on the other hand, shows more visible red, orange, or brown inclusions, with often much greater color variations within the same stone.

It can also retain areas of transparent or translucent quartz.

Hematoid Quartz and Hematite

Hematoid quartz and hematite should not be confused.

Hematite is an iron oxide usually having a metallic gray to black appearance when polished.

Hematoid quartz is primarily composed of quartz and contains inclusions or deposits of iron oxides, which may include hematite.

The presence of these iron compounds explains its characteristic red colors.

Naturally unique baroque beads

Baroque beads have irregular shapes, unlike perfectly calibrated round beads.

They are particularly suitable for hematoid quartz as they highlight the natural diversity of the inclusions.

Some stones may be very clear with a few red inclusions, while others will show more pink, orange, or reddish-brown.

Each bracelet therefore has its own unique combination of shapes, colors, and inclusions and may differ significantly from the photographs presented.

Care tips

Quartz has good hardness and is particularly well suited for jewelry making.

However, it is recommended to avoid significant shocks, chemicals, perfumes, and household cleaning products.

For routine cleaning, use a soft, slightly damp cloth, then carefully dry the stones.

To preserve the elastic thread, it is best to remove the bracelet before showering, swimming, or engaging in sports activities.
