Red Quartz Tinejdad, Er Rachidia Province, Meknes-Tafilalet Region, Morocco Dimensions: 13.8 x 9.0 x 6.8 cm
Collector's Note: This specimen has several broken crystal tips, all of which are clearly visible in the listing photographs. These condition characteristics have been taken into consideration when pricing the piece.
Few quartz localities have captured collectors' attention as quickly as Tinejdad, where iron-rich hydrothermal fluids produced striking clusters of quartz saturated with hematite inclusions. Rather than coating the surface, the iron oxide became incorporated during crystal growth, creating the deep brick-red color that has made these Moroccan specimens so instantly recognizable among mineral enthusiasts.
The specimen displays an impressive variety of crystal sizes, from stout, sharply terminated points to delicate secondary generations nestled between larger crystals. This layered growth creates exceptional depth, inviting the eye to explore every angle. Fine natural hematite inclusions and coatings highlight the crystal faces while preserving the quartz's brilliant vitreous luster.
