What are Rutilated or Tourmalinated Quartz?

Quartz inclusions are a thing of beauty. There are 2 different types of inclusion, rutilated or tourmalinated.

Rutilated Quartz

When shimmering rutile makes home within crystal structure of quartz, a beautiful and storied material results. Rutilated Quartz, as it is called, displays intricate needle-like inclusions of gold shimmering rutile, which occurs in radiating pattern, like firework at the moment of explosion. The effect is dramatic and each example of rutilated quartz holds a distinct and unique pattern.

Rutilated Quartz is a gem we have dreamt of offering for years. For us it tells a singular story: instead of representing perfection, it represents truth. It embodies all our scars, our cracks, our mess, our light, our power.

The rutilated Quartz has been linked to ancient legends, because of the shimmering sheen. The ancients were drawn to the sparkling sheen, which was integrated into Jewelry. It was also known as “Venus Hair” Stone because of the fine golden hairs. It is said that rutilated Quartz can help you get better sleep as it releases stress and keeps nightmares at bay. This gemstone will also increase your confidence and will enhance creativity as it quiets the mind. It is believed it is one of the few stones that can cleanse and unblock all the chakras. Since it influences all the chakra, it will help you stay aligned.


Tourmalinated Quartz


When Quartz and Tourmaline get together, the result is striking. Specimens of tourmalinated Quartz, also called Tourmaline Quartz, displays black tourmaline or green tourmaline, embedded in milky or clear quartz.Tourmalinated Quartz is found around the world, with exceptional deposits in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

When Quartz meets other minerals, the visual effect can be captivating Gem lovers and Jewelers alike. Since each specimen is highly unique, included Quartz is a playground for the imagination and rich with design inspiration. Myth holds that this special gem can be worn as an amulet of spiritual protection. The belief is that this Jewel bolsters its wearer to overcome the temptation of destructive behavior and keep a clear mind.
