The Orange River corridor of the Northern Cape is one of South Africa's most celebrated mineral localities, producing Quartz specimens with exceptionally heavy Hematite saturation that ranges from bright orange-red through to deep brick red and burgundy depending on the oxidation state of the iron. These natural crystal clusters display well-formed prismatic terminations with the characteristic red iron staining penetrating deep into the crystal body rather than sitting only on the surface. The intensity and evenness of the red colouration on Orange River material sets it apart from Hematoid Quartz found elsewhere in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eASSOCIATED MINERALS \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eQuartz, Hematite, Limonite\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eASSOCIATED FEATURES \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eTrigonal, Prismatic, Striated, Vitreous, Translucent\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eASSOCIATED COLOURS \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eRed, Orange, Brick Red, Burgundy, Clear\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOHS HARDNESS SCALE\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e7\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT DATA \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLocality = Orange River, South Africa\u003cbr\u003eGrade = Good Grade\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e                      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize = 538 x 225 x 156 mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"QUARTZ - Hematoid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50440348631233,"sku":"186-708-260728BM","price":8960.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2066\/6451\/files\/186708_9.jpg?v=1785421644","url":"https:\/\/www.toprocks.com\/products\/natural-xl-red-hematoid-crystal-cluster-x-1-from-orange-river-south-africa","provider":"Toprock Gemstones and Minerals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
