Rutilated quartz is a variety of quartz which despite not being as ‘pure’ as more well-known quartz varieties, such as amethyst, are valued for their ‘inclusions’. These inclusions are needle-like strands which are often reddish or golden in appearance and it is these ‘rutiles’ from which the name derives.
The name ‘rutilated’ is Latin in origin, from the word ‘rutilus’ meaning ‘glowing red’. The rutiles present in rutilated quartz give these gemstones the appearance of something akin to a thread of gold or glimmering night sky. Historically, this is certainly how our ancestors viewed rutilated quartz, with names such as ‘Angel’s hair’ or Flèches D'amour (arrows of love) evoking beautiful, romantic connotations.
Clear Quartz:-
Clear Quartz is the "Stone of Power" and can help to amplify any energy or intention. Clear Quartz is also called the "Master Healer" and with the presence of the inclusions, this Quartz has wonderful healing abilities. Quartz is a silicon dioxide mineral with a hardness of 7. Its crystal system is hexagonal which grows in a large variety of formations. It is one of the most abundant minerals, found on every continent of the Earth. Crystal Quartz exhibits the property of piezoelectricity, by which it can transform mechanical energy (eg pressure) into electromagnetic energy and vice versa.
Clear Quartz encourages clarity of thought and purpose to one’s heart and mind. It works on all levels of the energetic and physical bodies and resonates with all chakras. Clear Quartz will amplify any energy with which it moves into resonance, including other stones, constantly broadcasting that energy into the Earths electromagnetic field. This makes Clear Quartz an excellent stone to use for healing, manifestation or prayer work. Clear Quartz helps to establish a strong, clear connection to higher guidance.
Clear Quartz has been used as a healing tool since the Ancient times. In Shamanic practices Clear Quartz is referred to as the “light-stone”, an instrument of clairvoyance. Clear Quartz was traditionally used by Australian Aborigines and the Prairie Indians of North America as a talisman for visionary work. The Navajo believed it to be Clear Quartz that first caused the Sun to cast its light upon the world. The six sided hexagonal shape of Quartz crystal points allow them to hold a programme or intention, to magnify that energy and radiate it out into the surrounding area.
Rutile:-
Rutile is the most abundant of three naturally occurring forms of Titanium Dioxide and often forms microscopic oriented inclusions in other minerals; these are responsible for the asterism shown by some Phlogopite, Rose Quartz, Ruby and Sapphires.
The name Rutile was first introduced by the German geologist Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1800 (cfr. Lampadius 1800 and Ludwig 1803). The name is from the Latin rutilus, meaning "reddish." The mineral was already known under other names, such as "Red Schorl" and some other names, some of them later recognized as synonyms or varieties.
von Born was the first who described the mineral, in his catalog (1772: 34), as Basaltes crystallisatus ruber [Red crystalline schorl, the latin Basaltes was at the time used for both "schorl" and basalt columns]. The locality given by von Born was Murán near Revúca, Slovakia (Papp 2004). Romé de L'Isle (1783) used the name schorl rouge ou purpre [red or purple schorl] for a mineral found as inclusions in Quartz from Madagascar. Later, in 1796, De Saussure described Sagenite from St. Gothard in Switzerland. Sagenite is now recognized as a variety of rutile. The element Titanium was described by Klaproth (1795) from a specimen of hungarischen rother schörl (Hungarian red schorl) from what is today's Slovakia. Richard Kirwan (1796) described the mineral under the name Titanite (in Mindat see the entry titanite (of Kirwan)) and Haüy (1801) used the name titane oxydé.
Rutile is a high-frequency mineral with fascinating uses and is believed to have the ability to connect you to the higher realms. It's also known to amplify energies, which makes it a very good crystal to work with if you are trying to magnify uplifting and positive energy around you.\n\nIt means that rutile can magnify the energy around it, including yours. This means that rutile can multiply psychic energy and emotions you feel, whether it’s good or bad. This is why, although rutile is a highly beneficial crystal, you might need to be a little bit careful in handling this crystal as it can reflect back the energy you’re giving.
Many people recommend combining Rutile with a grounding stone as the energy. Any be too strong for some.
