Reddish crystallized quartz.
It is a variety of quartz with ocher, brown and red tones. Its color is due to the fact that in its composition it has part of Hematite or Limonite that gives it the reddish tone.
The mineral includes a label with the name and origin and is attached to a cardboard box. 4 cm square.
