Look inside these tumbled quartz stones and you will see fine needles running through the crystal: dark strands of tourmaline and golden to orange threads that give each stone its own pattern. They are polished smooth and measure about an inch across.
Colors run from clear and white to gray, black and orange, so no two stones look the same. Use them for jewelry making, crystal grids, gifts or simply as pocket stones to turn over in your hand. Choose 5 or 10 to compare patterns and keep your favorites.
Rutilated quartz is quartz containing needle-like crystals of rutile, which usually look golden but can be red or black. Tourmalinated quartz is similar but holds black tourmaline needles. Collectors value both for their inclusions rather than despite them, and both share quartz's Mohs hardness of 7.
Stone Meaning: Tourmalinated quartz is traditionally associated with grounding and clarity; rutilated quartz with focus.
What is the difference between rutilated and tourmalinated quartz? Rutilated quartz contains rutile needles, usually golden. Tourmalinated quartz contains black tourmaline needles. Both are natural quartz.
Are the needles natural? Yes, the inclusions formed naturally as the quartz grew around them.
