Rutilated Quartz

Quartz stones that contain mineral inclusions are called “Sagenite” or “Rutilated Quartz”. Rutiles are small needlelike crystals that may be red, black or brassy yellow. The needle inclusions add intensity and transmission power to the crystal. The perfection of clear Quartz with shimmering golden needles, sometimes radiating in a 6 pointed star growing out of lustrous Hematite centers, has captivated the appeal of a wide audience. The rarity of a perfect star in water clear crystal is a true gem to behold!

Rutile is a simple mineral, TiO2, which is nearly the same as Quartz, SiO2, so if there is Titanium and Silicon in the growing atmosphere, you have a strong chance of Rutilated Quartz. Rutile can take on many colors and forms, from thin needles of red, yellow and gold to big blades of bright golden color, sometimes radiating in a star pattern from a center of metallic hematite.
