Rutilated Quartz is a fascinating gemstone, known for its striking inclusions that look like strands of gold or threads of light trapped inside.
The king of Rutile inclusion will probably remain the Star Rutile from Novo Horizonte, Bahia, Brazil, now the only county that produces rutilated quartz and rutile on hematite.
Star Rutile is constituted by six ray star of oriented needles of fibrous sagenitic yellow rutile. The star is usually overgrown above an hexagonal blade crystal of hematite.
It is a educational example of epitaxy, the property of some minerals to grow a crystal of a particular orientation on top of another crystal, where the orientation is determined by the underlying crystal. The rutile follows the atomic lattice of the hematite, but with changed composition. This is basically due to a consumed iron content in the hydrothermal solution and a relative increase of titanium.
Full six harm stars are highly valuable and quite rare, while broken stars with five or less arms are called “pés de galinha” (crow’s-feet) and are much less expensive.
This magical and unique gemstone is ideal for jewelers seeking to convey elegance and energy, collectors in love with its rarity and the uniqueness of its formation, and people interested in energy therapies, thanks to its fascinating beauty and powerful energetic properties.
