I'm not familiar with the term hematoid. |

OK, kinda sounds like hemorrhoid inclusions. I think hematite inclusions in quartz might be a preferable description. I see the term used on a lot of mystic, metaphysical sites. |

I think 'hematoid' specifically refers to quartz shot through with diffuse hematite inclusions, yielding a translucent/near-opaque red color. These pictured inclusions are very unusual. I love them. |

The unusual color and similar pattern is what caught my eye. I'm a frequent bidder in Miss Barbosa's auctions. This one I will be passing on, I'm sure these quartz pieces are going to go for several hundred dollars. |
