Know More About Rutilated Quartz

Rutilated quartz is a type of natural crystal. It was formed around 300 million years ago during ancient orogenic movements. Various minerals seeped into crystal bodies and stayed inside permanently. Inside the stone, you can find different kinds of natural needle-like minerals. The most common ones include black tourmaline, rutile, titanium oxide and actinolite. These fine minerals spread all over the crystal just like human hair strands. That is why people name it rutilated quartz.

Different minerals create different colors. Under normal circumstances, rutilated quartz with black tourmaline is known as black hair crystal. Those containing actinolite turn into green hair crystal. Rutile usually brings yellow and red shades, forming yellow and red hair crystal. If the inclusions look thick and flat, people call it titanium crystal.

Many people believe rutilated quartz brings special benefits to human body. It can build up your confidence and determination, and fill you with brave. They also say the needle minerals raise the crystal’s vibration frequency, so its power become much stronger. Natural crystals already carry inner energy, and the extra mineral threads inside rutilated quartz help release this energy better. For this reason, rutilated quartz works better than ordinary crystals. It greatly helps people improve self-confidence and judgement skills. It also eases inner fear and nervous feelings.

Compare with diamonds and other precious gems, most rutilated quartz belong to low-end jewelry. However, a small number of high-quality pieces are extremely rare and valuable. You may never find them even if you look for years. The rutilated quartz bracelet shown in the picture was bought in Donghai, a famous city well-known for natural crystals.

Just like diamonds, every natural rutilated quartz has its own unique flaws. No two pieces are exactly the same. Man-made fake rutilated quartz has clear different features. The artificial hair-like lines often run in parallel lines, and the color looks reddish brown or yellowish brown. When you watch it under a magnifying glass, the inside threads look like small tubes. Fake stones have unnatural color filling inside, and you can easily see air bubbles. Real natural rutilated quartz will never have these problems.
