Tangerine Quartz
Physical Characteristics: Crystal specimens may range from pale to very dark orange, and appear translucent.
In Nature: Tangerine Quartz forms in the presence of Hematite and water. The Iron in the Hematite oxidizes, covering the crystal in a thin coat of rust.
Chemical Composition: SiO2
Mohs Scale Hardness: 7 (high)
Can be Found: Worldwide, though most mining occurs in Brazil
Healing Properties*: Mentally, the stone boosts self-esteem and brings a sense of empowerment. It may be helpful in recovering from shock or trauma, or can be employed as a more general pick-me-up. Like many orange crystals, it engenders feelings of happiness and positivity.
Magickal Properties: In addition to Quartz's general properties, this stone is especially notable as an emotional healer and for sparking creativity. Use Tangerine Quartz to foster relationships and to release self-deprecating or limiting patterns of thought. It may also be useful as a tool of manifestation, especially when one's desires correspond to one of the stone's other properties (e.g. manifesting a completed project, new relationship, etc.)
Chakra Association: Second (Sacral) and Third (Solar Plexus)
Element: Fire
Energy: Projective
Planetary Association: Sun
*Magickal healing should never take the place of seeing a doctor and following any recommended prescriptions, actions, or other advice. Magick works best in tandem with physical efforts, anyway, so don't skimp on those check-ups!
