Rutilated Quartz is a variety of Clear, Smoky, or less commonly, Amethyst Quartz that contains needle-like inclusions of the mineral Rutile (Titanium Dioxide). These thin, often golden, copper, or silvery filaments are sometimes called "Venus hair" or "Angel hair." The quartz itself is typically transparent, beautifully showcasing the fine, hair-like needles. It possesses a high vitreous lustre and is a durable, highly sought-after stone for unique and eye-catching jewellery.

Rutilated Quartz is known as the "Stone of Illumination and Accelerator." It is an extremely powerful energetic amplifier; the Rutile inclusions act like antennae, boosting the power of the quartz and amplifying the thoughts and intentions of the wearer. It is highly effective for spiritual growth, stimulating intuition, and helping the user to recognise and move forward on their true life path. It brings emotional release, quickly absorbing negative energy and helping to alleviate fear, depression, and guilt, replacing them with joy and light.

Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale (making it durable for daily wear).

Chakra: Works to align all chakras, but is particularly potent for the Solar Plexus (for power), Crown, and Third Eye chakras.

Zodiac Sign: Gemini and Taurus.

Benefits: Amplifies energy, intentions, and psychic abilities, facilitates spiritual growth and illumination, aids in releasing fear, depression, and self-doubt, encourages honourable action and clear decision-making, and promotes clarity, healing, and perseverance.
