The specimen glows with saturated tangerine, golden orange, warm peach, and honey tones created by naturally occurring iron-oxide mineralization on and within the quartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main display face is exceptionally crystal-rich. Numerous elongated points overlap in multiple directions, creating impressive depth and an almost flame-like formation. Larger central crystals provide strong focal points, while tightly packed secondary points fill the surrounding surface. Sharp terminations and broad glassy faces produce brilliant reflections as the specimen is turned beneath the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor coverage varies naturally throughout the cluster. Some crystals display deep orange terminations and richly coated prisms, while others transition into pale champagne, translucent peach, or nearly colorless quartz. These lighter sections reveal internal veils, inclusions, and natural growth features beneath the iron-rich surface deposits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite crystalline quartz remains exposed along the upper edge, base, and perimeter, forming a dramatic contrast with the orange display face. The reverse reveals an earthy, mineralized cavity surface with small quartz crystals, recessed pockets, iron staining, and remaining host material. This natural back preserves the specimen’s geological structure while emphasizing the unusually dense crystallization on its primary face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 4 × 2.5 × 3 inches and weighing 0.95 pounds, this substantial cabinet specimen combines intense color, abundant terminated points, strong sparkle, and excellent three-dimensional coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimary Mineral: Quartz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrade Name: Tangerine Quartz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColoring Material: Naturally occurring hematite and associated iron-oxide mineralization\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocality: Minas Gerais, Brazil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 0.95 lbs, approximately 431 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: Approximately 4 × 2.5 × 3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor: Tangerine orange, golden orange, honey, peach, pale champagne, and milky white\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormation: Dense cluster of elongated quartz crystals on a white crystalline matrix\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal Habit: Hexagonal prisms with pyramidal terminations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuster: Bright vitreous to highly reflective\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransparency: Transparent to translucent, with milky areas along the matrix\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReverse: Natural mineralized cavity surface with small crystals, recessed pockets, iron staining, and host material\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChemical Formula: SiO₂ for quartz; iron-oxide coloration commonly associated with hematite\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal System: Trigonal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMohs Hardness: Approximately 7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisplay Size: Cabinet specimen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Natural mineral specimen with inherent contacts, incomplete secondary crystals, small edge irregularities, inclusions, internal fractures, surface deposits, matrix contacts, and variations associated with natural formation and extraction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExact specimen shown\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Tangerine Quartz\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Tangerine Quartz” is a descriptive collector and trade name for quartz displaying orange-to-reddish iron-oxide coatings or inclusions. It is not a separate mineral species or formally recognized quartz variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coating varies in thickness across this specimen, producing deeply saturated orange areas alongside lighter, more translucent crystals. This uneven distribution allows the natural clarity and internal structure of the quartz to remain visible beneath portions of the coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle the specimen by its solid matrix rather than the projecting crystals. Avoid soaking or using chemical cleaners, as these could alter natural surface deposits.
