Rutilated Quartz Cabochons
Rutilated Quartz cabochons are quartz with gold rutile inclusions.
Our lovely semiprecious gemstone cabochons of Rutilated Quartz are found in Novo Horizonte, Bahia, Brazil.
This is one of the cabochon stones that is actually prized for its inclusions! Gold-colored, hairlike inclusions of rutile (a titanium dioxide mineral) embedded in this semi precious gemstone give it the appearance of a lightning show or meteor shower.
These inclusions mostly look golden, but they also can look silver, copper red or deep black.
Quartz is the most abundant mineral on the face of the earth. Basic Quartz is found from milky white to optically clear. Colored varieties usually have their own names, like Amethyst or Citrine.
The name crystal comes from the Greek for "ice", as it was believed that rock crystal was eternally frozen. The name quartz comes from the Saxon word querklufterz which meant "cross vein ore" and the name rutile means "reddish" in Latin.
