Golden rutile threaded through smoky quartz is the draw on this cluster.
The warm gold needles stand out against the brown quartz, especially in the close up photo, and they change as light moves across the points. It is a hand size specimen, easy to place on an altar, a desk or a mineral shelf, and the in hand photo shows the scale. Collectors who like inclusions will get the most from it, but it also works as a gift for someone who prefers earthy browns over bright colors.
Smoky quartz gets its brown to gray color when natural radiation activates color centers around trace aluminum in the quartz. It is the national gemstone of Scotland, where it is called cairngorm, and Brazil supplies most commercial smoky quartz.
Stone Meaning: Smoky quartz is traditionally associated with grounding and calm.
