Red Rutiles |
Rutilated Quartz is a Mineral and is recognized by the characteristic rutile crystal inclusions passing through the quartz. Rutile is a major ore of titanium, which is a metal used for high tech alloys. This is what forms the needle-like crystal inclusions inside quartz. They form in a variety of colors: Gold, Red and Black, that I know of.

It is sold with a facet cut or free form cabochon. It's beautiful in jewelry. I personally have two pieces of jewelry with this natural phenomenon and a few loose stones. Absolutely amazing Gemstone.
