Red Quartz is from the same family as ‘Clear Quartz Crystal’ with a Mohs hardness of 7. It is from the hexagonal crystal family. This crystal, like the clear quartz has facets that identify it. The red inclusions giving it its name are from iron deposits, an iron oxide called hematite.
As this name implies, that it has outstanding connections with iron, I use this crystal in the support of blood, for those with a health condition* that may deplete the blood for a multitude of reasons. The Root Chakra and cardinal Aries energy this stone offers for its energy boost! This stone has the protection hematite offers as well as the enhancement crystal quartz offers.
A great stone to have when your reaching for the deep down get up and go energy to start a project. Or simply having it in your environment for that deep down energy that can sustain you.
