{"product_id":"fire-quartz-sphere-b-natural-brazil","title":"Fire quartz sphere (B) — natural, Brazil","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA polished fire quartz sphere from Brazil, milky quartz threaded with bright red-orange. The name is a trade term; geologically this is iron-included quartz, the same family as golden healer and red hematoid quartz. Its colour comes from hematite, an iron oxide, trapped inside the quartz as it grew. Most commercial fire quartz on the market, this piece included, has been heat treated to bring the red out more vividly. The inclusions themselves are natural iron; heating deepens their colour, a common step for this material that sellers seldom mention.\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 8.55 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 875 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":57926122209624,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/4880\/5720\/files\/fqs-b-6.jpg?v=1786213384","url":"https:\/\/thecrystalshowroom.com\/products\/fire-quartz-sphere-b-natural-brazil","provider":"The Crystal Showroom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
