What is rutilated quartz?
Rutilated quartz is a quartz variety with intergrown needles. The quartz can vary in colour between bright colourless to grey/brown smoky quartz. The ingrown needles are of the mineral rutile. This is a Titanium oxide that usually has a golden colour, however, it can also be, silver, copper or black. With most stones, inclusions reduce the value of a crystal, but in the case of rutile quartz, it works the other way around!
Rutile inclusions
Rutile takes different shapes and colours. From golden yellow to dark brown and from thick needles to thin hairs, whether clustered or not or as a star shape. The pattern is unique in every stone. Rutilated quartz is one of the few minerals that is so popular precisely because of its inclusions.
Energetic mineral
