Rutilated Quartz

Quartz is the second most common mineral (12%) found in the earth's crust. A wide variety of common gemstones, including Agate, Amethyst, Citrine, Jasper, Tiger Eye, and Onyx are all members of the quartz family. Ancient Greeks believed that rock crystal quartz was fossilized ice, and many scientists continued to believe this until the 16th century. Most quartz on todays market is lab grown, not to be confused with synthetic.

Description: While most quartz is valued for its clarity, rutilated quartz is highly prized for its inclusions- the more the merrier! Rutilated quartz is a natural quartz crystal with threads of rutile, which is a mineral primarily composed of titanium dioxide. Often called Cupid's darts or Venus hair stone, this beautiful crystal appears to have little needles of gold shooting through it.
Quartz and rutile have different hardness levels on the Moh's scale, resulting in a stone that is difficult to smooth and polish. Due to this trait, many pieces of rutilated quartz are pitted at the surface.
