These are AA-grade Fire Quartz raw crystals from Alaotra-Mangoro, Madagascar, sold by the piece or by the pound. Fire quartz, also called hematoid quartz, carries red and rust hematite inclusions suspended in the crystal. Each piece runs 1-2 inches at Mohs 7, sourced through a community partnership. A favorite grounding stone for pockets.
Fire quartz is clear or smoky quartz threaded with hematite inclusions that look like flame or streaks of rust inside the crystal. The inclusions make every piece different.
These raw pieces come from Alaotra-Mangoro, Madagascar. Worth knowing: a lot of the fire quartz on the market is heat-treated. What we carry is natural and untreated.
Fire quartz has long been used in practices around staying connected to your body and the moment, settling into who you already are, and coming back to the task in front of you. It's traditionally linked to the root and solar plexus chakras. If that resonates, keep a piece in your pocket during the day for a steadying presence. There's no single right way to carry it.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
