Red Iron Quartz gets its color from red oxidized inclusions of Hematite in Quartz; therefore the mineral is also called Hematite Quartz or Hematoid Quartz. Because of its color, Hematite Quartz is also known as Strawberry Quartz in both retail and wholesale markets. Iron Quartz is also called Iron Quartz, Lepidocrocite, Hemantoite or Harlequin Quartz. In English-speaking countries, the red-orange Iron Quartz is also erroneously called Peach Aventurine. From the English language is taken the name Hematoide/Hämatoit.

The effect of red Iron Quartz is appreciated in gemstone medicine, when it is necessary to mobilize energy reserves and to implement decided plans energetically.
