Rutilated Quartz Tumbled Stone
Rutilated Quartz is a striking variety of quartz containing natural needle-like and thread-like mineral inclusions, most famously rutile. These tumbles show an incredible mixture of golden, copper-red, dark and earthy tones, with some pieces also displaying green-toned mineral inclusions. No two stones are ever quite the same.
Rutile is a titanium dioxide mineral that can form delicate needles, fine threads, dense sprays or dramatic markings inside quartz. Depending on the piece, the inclusions may appear golden, reddish-brown, silvery or very dark, while other naturally occurring minerals can add further colour and character.
The contrast between clear or milky quartz and the inclusions inside makes every tumble feel like its own tiny mineral landscape. Some are subtle and wispy, while others are packed with colour and pattern.
Spiritually, Rutilated Quartz is traditionally associated with clarity, focus, confidence and forward movement. Clear Quartz is also widely regarded in crystal traditions as an amplifier, while the rutile inclusions are often associated with motivation, energy and helping bring intention into action.
These are beautiful everyday stones for a pocket, crystal bowl, altar or collection, especially for anyone who loves crystals with natural variation and plenty of personality.
Please note: Each Rutilated Quartz tumble is naturally unique. Colour, inclusions, pattern, shape and translucency will vary from piece to piece.
Available in Small, Medium and Large. Your tumble will be intuitively chosen from the size selected.
