Black Rutile Faceted Gemstone - AAA-Grade
Black rutile, also known as rutilated quartz, is a transparent to translucent variety of quartz with fine, needle-like inclusions of the mineral rutile.
These inclusions partially obscure the gemstone’s clarity.
This type of included quartz forms over millions of years, as rutile crystals slowly grow within the quartz. Rutile is composed of titanium dioxide.
This premium-grade rutilated quartz gemstone has been faceted to enhance the way it interacts with light.
A fascinating stone that could be used for jewellery, or as an intriguing addition to any collection of rocks and minerals.
