Rutilated Smoky Quartz Raw Formation - One of a Kind, 2.5 In

This small smoky quartz formation holds needles of rutile, a titanium mineral, inside the brown crystal. It is natural, not treated, and one of a kind.

Rutile inclusions are what collectors look for in rutilated quartz, and they show best when you hold the piece up to a window or a phone light. At this size it fits in a palm, a pocket or a small display box, and it sits easily on a desk or in a cabinet of specimens. It is an easy gift for a mineral lover, and a good entry point for anyone curious about included quartz.

About Rutilated Smoky Quartz

Rutilated quartz is quartz that grew around needle like crystals of rutile, which is titanium dioxide. Rutile needles usually look golden, sometimes silver, red or black, and the name comes from the Latin rutilus, red. In smoky quartz, natural radiation has also darkened the host crystal to brown or gray.

Stone Meaning: Smoky quartz is traditionally associated with grounding and calm.
