Weight: 120g

Rutilated quartz is a rare and unique variety of quartz characterized by the presence of golden needle-like rutile inclusions, which appear as if golden strands of hair have been embedded into the crystal. This unique gemstone forms under high temperature and pressure conditions, where minerals mix during the quartz crystal’s growth process. The inclusions’ arrangement, shape, and quantity are randomly determined by natural conditions, making each piece a unique work of art.

Venus’s Golden Hair

In ancient Greece, rutilated quartz was associated with the goddess Venus (the goddess of love and beauty), resembling her golden hair. This connection made rutilated quartz a symbol of nobility, attractiveness, and abundance.

Ancient Rome

The ancient Romans also admired rutilated quartz, often carrying it as an amulet or protective stone. They believed rutilated quartz could provide protection and divine insight, guiding them through difficulties.
