Hematite included quartz is a variety of quartz that contains visible inclusions of hematite, an iron oxide mineral. These inclusions can appear as fine reddish-brown specks, plumes, flakes, or even phantom-like internal crystals, depending on how the hematite was incorporated during quartz formation. This combination typically forms in hydrothermal environments, where iron-rich fluids deposit hematite alongside or before quartz crystallization. This specimen from Madagascar features hundreds of tightly clustered crystals, which is a less common aesthetic seen in hematite quartz.
