Quartz – Rutilated Tumbled Stones
Rutilated Quartz has a trigonal/tetragonal crystal system. It is in the mineral class of oxides, the Quartz family. Basically, it consists of needle-shaped rutile crystals that have been enclosed by the Quartz.
When tiny needles of silver or gold are found in quartz, they are another crystal form called rutile. The rutile needles can range from brown with copper red to the most familiar golden fibers. It is formed in a primary manner, magmatically in pegmatites or by a hydrothermal process in clefts.
