Mini Golden Healer Quartz Sphere 16mm | Yellow Iron Stained Quartz | Solar Plexus Chakra Crystal

Mini Golden Healer Quartz spheres at 16mm with that warm honey-gold to amber color that gives this stone its name. We love this size for crystal grids and sphere collections - small enough to fit anywhere, big enough that the iron staining patterns are clearly visible when you turn them in the light.

About what this actually is: "Golden Healer Quartz" is a marketing/trade name for Clear Quartz with iron oxide inclusions or staining that give it that golden yellow color. The technical name is Ferruginous Quartz, and the iron is usually goethite (sometimes mistakenly called hematite, which would give a red color, not yellow). The name was originally coined for iron-stained quartz from Garland County, Arkansas, but is now used for similar yellow quartz from Brazil, India, and Madagascar.

What you'll get:
- One intuitively chosen 16mm Golden Healer Quartz sphere
- Polished to a high shine
- About the size of a marble
- Mohs hardness 7

A note on Citrine vs Golden Healer: both are yellow quartz colored by iron, but Citrine has the iron distributed microscopically and is uniformly transparent yellow. Golden Healer has visible iron inclusions or staining patterns - more localized golden zones, often with clear quartz visible too. They're related but visually distinct.

In crystal traditions, Golden Healer Quartz combines the amplifying properties of Clear Quartz with the warm sunny associations of yellow stones. It is most often associated with the solar plexus chakra (personal power, manifestation, confidence) and is described in lore as a multidimensional healing stone - the quartz amplifies energy while the gold hue is said to bring warmth and abundance focus. Popular in manifestation work and crystal grids.

The mini size makes these great for sphere collections, layered crystal grids, or as small thoughtful gifts.
