Rutilated Quartz

Rutilated quartz is a striking gemstone that features golden or copper-colored threads of rutile running through a clear or smoky quartz crystal. These fine, needle-like inclusions create a mesmerizing, almost otherworldly appearance, as if tiny rays of sunlight are trapped within the stone. The quartz itself is usually transparent or slightly cloudy, allowing the delicate strands of rutile to stand out vividly. Each piece of rutilated quartz is unique, with the rutile inclusions forming different patterns, from delicate wisps to bold, angular lines. This stone is prized not only for its beauty but also for its believed properties of enhancing clarity and spiritual insight.
