The orange colouration develops as iron compounds leach from surrounding rock and bond to the quartz surface over thousands of years. The finest specimens originate from Minas Gerais, Brazil, and Madagascar, where the mineral-rich geology creates ideal conditions for vivid, even colouration across well-formed points. Each piece is entirely natural — the depth and distribution of colour is determined by the specific conditions of its formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCrystal Properties\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTangerine Quartz is associated in crystal lore with creativity, vitality, and emotional healing. Its warm orange energy is said to stimulate the sacral chakra, encouraging playfulness, curiosity, and the courage to move through past trauma or creative blocks. It is regarded as an uplifting and energising stone, particularly suited to those seeking renewed enthusiasm, self-acceptance, or a deeper connection to joy and spontaneity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 30 to 45mm long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs a natural crystal specimen, each piece is unique — colour saturation, iron distribution, inclusions, and exact dimensions will vary from the image shown.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rock \u0026 Fossil Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54693624119629,"sku":"NQLTS","price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/0120\/7117\/files\/Natural_Tangerine_Quartz_Point_1_NQLTS.jpg?v=1788873106","url":"https:\/\/www.rockandfossilshop.co.uk\/products\/natural-tangerine-quartz-point","provider":"The Rock \u0026 Fossil Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
