Fire Quartz Puffy Heart (Hematoid Quartz)

Fire quartz (hematoid quartz) is clear quartz threaded with natural iron-oxide (hematite) inclusions, traditionally blending quartz's amplifying reputation with hematite's grounding character. This polished puffy heart shows the stone's fiery red, rust, and golden tones running through each one-of-a-kind piece, cut in a soft heart shape that fits easily in the palm.

How to use it Hold the heart during meditation, keep it on a desk as a grounding visual anchor, or add it to a crystal grid alongside other quartz and hematite pieces. Because each heart is cut from natural stone, the pattern of red and gold inclusions is unique to your piece, so no two hearts are ever quite the same. For another heart-chakra stone, see our Green Aventurine Small Tumbled Stone. Care & cleansing A brief rinse in cool water is generally fine thanks to quartz's hardness, but avoid prolonged soaking, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners, which can affect the hematite inclusions over time. Wipe dry with a soft cloth and store away from harder abrasive materials. Frequently asked questions What is fire quartz used for?

Yes — fire quartz and hematoid quartz both describe clear quartz with natural iron-oxide (hematite) inclusions running through it. Are the red inclusions in fire quartz natural? Yes, the fiery red, rust, and gold coloring comes from natural hematite inclusions within the quartz, not from dye or treatment. Can I get my fire quartz heart wet? A brief rinse is fine given quartz's hardness, but avoid long soaking sessions or ultrasonic cleaners, which can affect the hematite inclusions. What chakras is fire quartz linked to? In crystal tradition, it is associated with both the root and heart chakras, combining grounding and emotional balance. Will my heart look like the photo? Each piece is cut from natural stone, so the exact pattern of red and gold inclusions is unique and may differ from the reference photo.
