Quartz with Red Hematite Inclusions, also known as Hematoid Quartz, is a striking natural quartz from Zimbabwe, characterised by vivid red to rust-coloured inclusions of iron-rich hematite within clear or milky quartz. These inclusions form when hematite becomes trapped during the quartz’s crystallisation process, creating unique internal patterns that range from soft veils to bold, fiery clouds.

In metaphysical traditions, hematoid quartz is often associated with grounding, vitality and focused energy. It is believed to combine the amplifying qualities of quartz with the balancing, strengthening influence of hematite, supporting mental clarity, motivation and emotional balance. Many people work with this stone during meditation or intention-setting to encourage confidence, resilience and a balanced flow between thought and action. A very protective stone on all levels which brings clarity and focus to those who may be dreamy or often spaced out. A wonderful stone to make one feel balanced and positive, bringing the energy, clarity and belief needed to accomplish goals. Traditionally, it is linked to the kidneys and liver.
