Tangerine Quartz point and opal pendant

Adorned with the color of a sunset, Tangerine Quartz is an eye-catching crystal that’s beloved by many due to its meaning and properties. From a geological standpoint, this mineral is actually quite similar to standard Clear Quartz.

It’s a silicon dioxide material, which is relatively abundant on our planet. However, this variation exhibits a thin layer of iron oxide.

Tangerine Quartz predominantly comes from Minas Gerais in Brazil. This particular area is rich in Hematite, which is an iron-rich mineral. The iron rusts in the nearby water. 

Then, the rust bonds to the surface of Quartz to create this variant’s signature color. It varies in intensity. Some only have a slight orange hue while others are closer to fiery red. It all depends on the prevalence of Hematite in the area.

Tangerine Quartz is a crystal of perseverance and strength. It exhibits an energy that allows a clearer understanding of the events that will affect you and your life. It's a crystal that will help you find a place of quiet and serenity after physical or emotional trauma.

Lightning Ridge Opal is considered to be extremely lucky and the most uplifting of the Opals, bringing Light into the aura. It eases distress and dissolves depression and hopelessness, helping one face their darkest fears and to release that which is holding one back. Linking the Root and Crown Chakras, Lightning Ridge Opal connects one’s highest spiritual aspirations with one’s physical body, making it a powerful magnifier of intention and manifestation. It is a protective stone for deep inner work, soul retrieval or past-life recall, and can be used for “gazing” into the past, present or future. It is highly prized as a power stone for magic ritual and can be used for “reading eyes” in order to scry the truthfulness or intent of a person.
