Red Quartz Tinejdad, Errachidia Province Drâa-Tafilalet Region Morocco This variety of Quartz is far from the ubiquitous clear type. This unique Red/Ferruginous Quartz from Morocco displays an incredibly rich, red brick-like hue on each crystal face. This large cabinet-sized cluster consists of dozens of sizable and sharp, pyramidal terminated crystals which have intergrown tightly creating a dramatic representation. The rich reddish color is due to heavy Iron Oxide inclusions creating a completely opaque specimen with a vivid luster. The cluster displays as a plate as it has an almost flat bottom. This vibrant example is in excellent condition with only a couple of contact points present. This is a very interesting collector specimen to say the least. Overall Measurements: 8.27 x 8.07 x 3.54 inches (21.00 x 20.50 x 9.00 cm) [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
