Tangerine Quartz is also been called Orange Quartz and Sunfire
Quartz. It is actually clear quartz
coated in rust. It is formed due
to hematite. Hematite rusts in the water and the rust bonds to the clear
quartz. Because the color only bonds to the surface, it is more delicate than
others. It can come off when exposed to cleaners or tumblers. It has a Mohs
hardness of 7. Its color ranges from red to very light orange.

Care: Tangerine Quartz should not be left in the sun and you should not use cleaners on it. It will cause damage to the color. It should not be placed in tumblers or vibrators. You should not store it with softer stones as it can damage them. It can be cleansed with water, soil, smoke, sound, and selenite.
Tangerine Quartz represents
the sun setting on one chapter of your life so that you're free to start anew.
It stimulates the joyful
energy of your inner child, encouraging playfulness, and curiosity. It allows
you to learn and grow. It activates
passion, from sexuality to creativity. It encourages self-acceptance and helps
you to overcome self-doubt. Tangerine Quartz encouraged creativity,
sexuality, passion, curiosity, inspiration, confidence, playfulness, happiness,
and innocence. It is good for trauma and shock, facilitates healing, and aids
with sexual trauma. It is great for connecting to your past lives during
meditation. It is supposed to aid with weight loss as well. If ever you're
confused about which path to take or are stuck in a rut (career or relationship-wise), it will help direct you.
