Red & Orange Crystals
What Makes Minerals Red & Orange?
Red in minerals typically comes from iron (Fe³⁺) or chromium. Hematite's red streak, jasper's red, and carnelian's orange-red all derive from iron oxide. Chromium produces the finest reds - ruby gets its pigeon-blood red from just 1-2% chromium in corundum. The rare red of crocoite and vanadinite comes from lead combined with chromium or vanadium. Orange results from intermediate iron oxidation states or from manganese.
