Mini Fire Quartz Sphere 12mm | Hematoid Quartz Crystal Ball | Tiny Red Iron Crystal Bead Sphere

Mini Fire Quartz spheres at just 12mm - tiny but mighty. We love these miniature size because the iron inclusions inside really stand out at this scale: streaks of red, orange, and gold against clear or smoky quartz, all wrapped into a perfect little sphere. About the size of a small marble, perfect for crystal grids or layered collections.

About the size: 12mm is roughly the size of a pencil eraser or small bead. Genuinely small - meant for delicate grid work, sphere collections in graduated sizes, jewelry making (these can be drilled), or as part of a layered crystal kit alongside larger pieces. Not great as standalone display - they're collector-piece small.

What this actually is: Fire Quartz (also called Hematoid Quartz, Ferruginous Quartz, or Red Healer) is regular quartz that grew with hematite (iron oxide) inclusions trapped inside. The red, orange, and brown coloring comes from the iron, and the patterns vary wildly. Sourced from Madagascar, Brazil, or South Africa.

What you'll get:
- One intuitively chosen 12mm Fire Quartz sphere
- Polished to a high shine
- Tiny size - about 12mm (smaller than a pea)
- Mohs hardness 7

In crystal traditions, Fire Quartz is described as a balancing stone - the quartz amplifies energy while the iron grounds it. It is said to support courage, motivation, and focus, and is often associated with the root chakra (from the iron) and crown chakra (from the quartz). Some traditions call it a vitality stone.

The mini size makes these great for crystal grids, sphere collections in graduated sizes, jewelry projects, or as small delicate gifts. Pair with the standard Fire Quartz tumbles or mid-size spheres for a layered crystal display.
