About Rutilated Quartz
Rutilated Quartz is a variety of clear or smoky quartz containing needle-like inclusions of golden, silver, or reddish rutile (titanium dioxide) that create spectacular Venus-hair patterns within the transparent stone. These inclusions, ranging from fine parallel threads to scattered golden needles, make every stone unique and are considered a feature rather than a flaw. Brazil is the primary source, and rutilated quartz is widely used in cabochons, beads, and faceted stones.
