    Rutilated quartz

    Quartz variety

    Rutilated quartz is a variety of quartz which contains acicular (needle-like) inclusions of rutile.[1] It is used for gemstones.

    These inclusions mostly look golden, but they also can appear silver, copper red or black.

    • The inclusions may be distributed randomly or in bundles, which sometimes are arranged star-like, and they can be sparse or dense enough to make the quartz body nearly opaque.

    While otherwise inclusions often reduce the value of a crystal, rutilated quartz is valued for the quality of these inclusions.[2][3]
