Scientific information: The striking orange coloration of this specimen is due to the surface crystallization of limonite, an iron oxide-hydroxide mineral. Limonite forms as a secondary deposit on the quartz, creating a vivid color contrast.
Photos: The photos are taken under strong lighting to accurately capture the natural colors of the specimen. It is recommended to display the mineral in well-lit environments to fully appreciate its vibrant hues.
Crystal therapy: In crystal therapy, quartz with limonite is believed to offer both amplifying and grounding energies.
