Strawberry quartz, sometimes called red fire quartz, features the inclusion of iron oxide that gives it its namesake strawberry color. According to metaphysical belief, strawberry quartz carries all of the vibrations and healing properties of normal quartz but with a stronger focus on love. Wearers of the stone are said to radiate the high vibrations into the environment, bringing a sense of calm and love to themselves and those around them. Sizes, shapes and colors may vary with handcrafted items.
