Q: What is Cherry Tanzurine made of?

Cherry Tanzurine has the chemical formula SiO₂ with hematite and mica inclusions, crystallises in the trigonal system and measures 7 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Cherry Tanzurine is a trade name for a deep-red variety of aventurine quartz from South Africa, its cherry colour arising from finely disseminated hematite inclusions with occasional mica flakes producing gentle aventurescence. It is a natural quartz — not dyed — though the marketing name has no formal mineralogical standing.
