Material from this region often forms large crystalline plates and clusters, with the chlorite occurring as coatings, inclusions, and selective replacements within the quartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eMany specimens also show secondary hematoid (iron oxide) staining, which adds warm orange to reddish-brown accents against the green chlorite and clear to milky quartz. The result is highly textural material with strong visual contrast, making Orange River chlorite quartz popular among collectors for both cabinet and larger display pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT MINERALS \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eChlorite, Quartz, Hematoid \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT FEATURES \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMulti-Mineral, Drusy, Mossy, Frosted\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT COLOUR \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eGreen, White, Red\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOHS HARDNESS SCALE\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e2 - 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT DATA \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLocality = Orange River, South Africa\u003cbr\u003eGrade = Very Good Grade\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e                      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize = 633 x 388 x 87\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHLORITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50459871379649,"sku":"186-977-260804KW","price":12824.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2066\/6451\/files\/186977_20.jpg?v=1786027153","url":"https:\/\/www.toprocks.com\/products\/natural-xl-chlorite-quartz-flat-crystalline-plate-specimen-with-hematoid-x-1-from-orange-river-south-africa","provider":"Toprock Gemstones and Minerals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
