Rutilated Quartz

Rutilated Quartz is a crystal (shop SKU RQC13) on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

Rutilated quartz is quartz with needle-like inclusions of rutile, which may be golden, copper, or reddish. In crystal traditions, it is associated with energy and with clarity. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.
