You pick it up and turn it toward a lamp, and the rutile needles inside and outside the crystal light up gold and black.
This elestial smokey quartz came back from our most recent trip to Brazil, and it holds rutile both within the quartz and on its surface, which gives it more to look at than a plain smoky point. Its faces show the layered, alligator texture of skeletal growth. At about 4.5 by 2 by 3 inches and roughly 375 grams, it is light enough to hold and turn in your hand, yet large enough to display by itself. It would suit a crystal collector, a geology fan or someone who loves warm brown tones. This is the exact crystal shown.
It is about 4.5 by 2 by 3 inches and weighs about 375 grams (0.375 kilograms).
About Elestial Quartz and Black Rutile
Elestial is a market name for skeletal quartz, which grows in unusually saturated conditions when crystal edges grow faster than the faces, leaving recessed, layered faces. Rutile is titanium dioxide that commonly forms needle like crystals, and groups of these needles are often found penetrating quartz. Rutile is usually golden to reddish brown, and it turns black when rich in niobium and tantalum.
Stone Meaning: Rutilated smoky quartz is traditionally associated with clarity and grounding.
