Mineralogie & Entstehung

Rutilated quartz is a quartz (SiO₂) with needle-like inclusions of rutile (TiO₂). The rutile needles are golden yellow to reddish-brown and often form star-shaped or parallel patterns in the host crystal. It forms when rutile is trapped during quartz formation. Particularly beautiful specimens come from Brazil, Madagascar, India, and Pakistan.
