Rutile, a titanium dioxide mineral, features golden or reddish-brown needle-like inclusions, often found in quartz and other minerals. It blends beauty and power and is believed to enhance creativity, promote spiritual growth, and provide clarity.
 
Ethically sourced from Brazil, these raw Golden Rutilated Quartz crystals are grade A, and while they may not have the clarity we love to have in quartz tumbles and cabachons, they do have all the amazing properties that make rutilated quartz a cherished addition to any practice. As with any natural stone, colors do vary, and each piece is unique. Some of these pieces are very clear, while others have more smoke. Some pieces have more or less rutile, some have hematite or other inclusions. This batch is grade A and has been priced accordingly. Many individuals prefer using raw crystals in their practices, as the raw stones possess such unique & raw beauty and power, straight from the earth.

Sourcing Insights
Rutile Inclusions: Genuine raw Rutilated Quartz will feature natural, needle-like inclusions of rutile within the quartz. These should appear organic and somewhat random, not perfectly uniform or arranged in an artificial pattern. The color of the rutile is typically golden, but can also be silver, copper, or reddish.
Raw Crystal Form: The quartz itself should display natural crystal faces, points, or clusters, not a polished or overly uniform shape (unless specified as cut).
Fake Rutile: Be highly cautious of any "rutilated" quartz with tinsel or other artificial metallic threads embedded in resin or glass. These fakes often have unnaturally perfect, uniform "needles" that are clearly not natural mineral growth.
Clarity & Variation: The quartz can range from clear to smoky, and the density of the rutile inclusions will vary. A piece that is too perfect or too uniform in its rutile distribution might be suspicious.
No Dyeing: Rutilated Quartz is generally not dyed. The color comes from the rutile inclusions and the quartz host. Be wary of unnaturally bright or unusual colors in the quartz itself.
Hardness: As a form of Quartz, it is a hard mineral (7 on the Mohs scale) and should not scratch easily with common materials.
