Hematoid Quartz Tumbled
Hematoid Quartz, a captivating variety of Quartz, is distinguished by its unique inclusions of Hematite that imbue it with shades ranging from yellow to deep red. This intriguing mineral composition not only gives Hematoid Quartz its distinctive coloration but also contributes to its physical properties. Hematite, an iron oxide, is known for its high density and hardness, which, when combined with Quartz, a silicon dioxide possessing a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, makes Hematoid Quartz a robust and durable gemstone. Scientifically, the presence of Hematite inclusions within Quartz influences the crystal's formation and growth patterns, often resulting in fascinating shapes and textures. This blend of minerals further impacts the optical properties of Hematoid Quartz, resulting in a lustrous sheen and a range of translucencies, from opaque to translucent, depending on the concentration and distribution of Hematite within the Quartz matrix.
Hematoid Quartz is generally considered non-toxic and safe for handling and use in various applications, including jewelry making and decorative items. The main components of Hematoid Quartz, Quartz (silicon dioxide) and Hematite (iron oxide), are both minerals that do not release toxic substances under normal handling conditions. However, as with any mineral, caution should be exercised when working with its raw or powdered form to prevent inhalation of dust, which can be harmful to the respiratory system. It's always recommended to work in a well-ventilated area and use appropriate protective gear when cutting, grinding, or polishing gemstones. For everyday use and handling as finished products, Hematoid Quartz poses no significant health risks, making it a popular choice for its beauty and durability.
