Tangerine Quartz is a variety of Quartz crystal, a silicon dioxide mineral with a hardness of 7. Its crystal system is hexagonal (trigonal). Tangerine Quartz is distinguished by an orangish coloration said to be caused by inclusions or encrustations of iron and possibly other minerals within or on the surface of the stone. The most attractive Tangerine Quartz has come primarily from the Diamantina area of Minas Gerais, Brazil, but Madagascar has also pro-duced some good specimens. Tangerine Quartz occurs in both single points and clusters, with individual crystals ranging from an inch or less to as much as a foot in length.  .robert simmons .  Tangerine Quartz works to activate the second chakra. It stimulates one's creativity as well as one's sexual energies, and the blending of these qualities can provide a great deal of spiritual growth.  The second chakra is the energy center at the level of the sexual organs. Creativity and our sexuality are deeply linked. The creation of a new human being is initiated through sexual contact. The creation of great works of art is often akin in intensity and emotional experience to a sexual orgasm. And the 'Big Bang' which is said to have been the moment of the creation of our Universe appears as an orgasmic moment for the Divine Intelligence. In our own lives, the awakening of kundalini energies often begins at or near the second chakra and is associated with great bursts of creative power. Tangerine Quartz is the type of Quartz most attuned to the second chakra and its array of sexual and creative energies.  Meditation with Tangerine Quartz can facilitate an upwelling of new ideas and inspirations from deep within the self, and these crystals can help us find the zest and energy to implement them. Tangerine Quartz can be use for activation of sexual desire as well, especially if the stone is placed at or near the second chakra. Partners can meditate or sleep within a grid of these crystals, for enhancement of mutual creativity and new inspirations to pursue together. Such an arrangement may increase the level of eroticism in the relationship as well. If one prefers to focus on only one of these activations, one can program the crystals to enhance only the desired energies. And in regard to programming, one can use Tangerine Quartz to enhance a particular creative endeavor by meditating with the stone and asking for assistance with that specific project.  Tangerine Quartz can be supplemented with Orange Calcite, Zincite, Carnelian and Padparadsha Sapphire to amplify its effects. One can add Cuprite to bring in the energies of the first chakra, or Golden Labradorite to involve the third. Tangerine Quartz's energies can be transmuted to focus on higher spiritual creativity by using it in conjunction with Phenacite, Azeztulite or Herderite.  .Naisha Ahsian .Tangerine Quartz stimulates the joyful, creative energy of the inner child.
