Hematite is a mineral form of iron oxide and is usually black or dark grey in color. Quartz is a common mineral made up of silicon and oxygen. Enhydrite is a rare mineral that is composed of hydrous calcium sulfate. It is usually found in association with other minerals such as gypsum, anhydrite, and halite.
From a geological perspective, Hematite over Quartz with Enhydrite Crystals is a unique specimen that formed through a process of mineral deposition. The hematite likely formed as a result of water containing iron ions seeping through the quartz and depositing the hematite on its surface. The Enhydrite crystals likely formed in a similar fashion, with water containing dissolved calcium and sulfate ions precipitating out and forming the Enhydrite crystals on the surface of the specimen.
From a metaphysical perspective, Hematite is believed to have grounding and protective properties. It is said to help with focus and concentration, and to promote a sense of calm and balance. Quartz is believed to have healing properties and to be able to enhance energy and thought.
