Description

Rutilated
quartz
is quartz stone with rutile enclosures. Rutile is a mineral that is made up mostly of
titanium dioxide, or TiO2. As a mineral, rutile is very high on the refractive index
and disperses more than almost any other mineral. This means that when rutile appears in other minerals,
it almost always appears in long, thin shots of color. Rutilus is, in fact, the Latin word for red. The mineral gained this name because some specimens are a lovely deep red color. Rutile, however, can also appear in brown and gray tones, rarely in green.
Earth Mined and perfectly cut in Brazil, by the hands of one of the most experient cutters in the World.
