{"product_id":"fire-quartz-sphere-a-natural-brazil","title":"Fire quartz sphere (A) — natural, Brazil","description":"\u003cp\u003eA polished fire quartz sphere from Brazil, clear quartz shot through with vivid red and orange. \"Fire quartz\" is a trade name; what you are holding is hematoid quartz, clear quartz coloured by inclusions of iron oxide (hematite) that formed as iron-rich fluids moved through the crystal. It is the red counterpart to golden healer, the yellow-gold version of the same iron-included quartz. Here is the honest part: most commercial fire quartz, including this piece, is heat treated to deepen and brighten the red. The iron is real and natural; the heat simply intensifies the colour, which is standard for this material and rarely disclosed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMineral:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartz (SiO₂) with iron oxide (hematite) inclusions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trigonal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brazil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 on the Mohs scale; durable and easy to handle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTreatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat treated to enhance colour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.96 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 695 g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic stand included (not the stand shown in the photo)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll receive the exact piece photographed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Crystal Showroom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57926071976280,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/4880\/5720\/files\/fqs-a-6.jpg?v=1786212843","url":"https:\/\/thecrystalshowroom.com\/products\/fire-quartz-sphere-a-natural-brazil","provider":"The Crystal Showroom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
